Here is one example that has been on CNN's front page for the better part of a month (as of yesterday it's off the front page)

Parents sue South Carolina for surgically making child female

That one was IS to F but IS to M is a lot more common than people think. It's said "it's easier to make a hole than a pole" but all too often when there is a micropenis or enlarged clit, they remove the female plumbing, and also very often if both are reasonably well formed the parents are often pressured by doctors and even clergy to make a decision, which is something equally as likely to be accurate if chosen by a coin toss as it is a "medical evaluation." In the case of IS children there is a 66% chance of making the wrong choice, because for us there are really three valid choices: 1. Make us female 2. Make us male 3. leave us the fuck alone. In all but the rarest of cases (such as a hypospadias being wide open revealing vital organs) the correct choice is #3 and let us make our own god damned decision when we're old enough to understand what such decisions make. To allow doctors or even parents play god and make that decision on our behalf is absolutely unforgivable.

what about caring about intersex people who were born with ambiguous genitalia and have to deal with this shit as well? Is it okay to be persecuted by tyranny of the majority because we are, as you put it. "a tiny minority" that is even smaller than the TG minority? Is that okay in your opinion?
