Nash is waaaay emotionally invested in this topic (sorry Nash, there's not a scintilla of evidence to the contrary) but there are some takes he's making that shouldn't be talked over.
Age isn't a sexual preference. A 9yo has no more business "consenting" to sex with a 40yo than they do deciding that instead of being a cowboy or a dinosaur today they want to be a physically different gender complete with medical interference. This absolutely takes takes pedophilia off the table and has nothing to do with things like "gay". You can have a gay guy as ready to beat down a gay pedophile as the rest of us because he's not pissed off about the guy being gay but rather the fact he was assaulting a child. It really is two different things.
The reason trans comes into play is if we are going to make literal children empowered to just up and decide if Bruce wants to be Betty at 7 years of age and that's acceptable then surely, the pedo's will happily assert*, someone old enough to make such a decision about their sex is capable of choosing their sexual partners.
*It makes no difference who does or doesn't agree with that line of thinking. Pedophiles are real and they very, very much wish to be normalized. Accepting trans children is the biggest legal/social crack in the acceptance wall available to them. This DOES NOT mean trans people are in any way by default pro pedos but it does mean that the argument used for trans children can be skewed to that end.
