The fact that HALF the self-IDing transwomen in prisons are convicted sex offenders should be proof enough of this. Like, seriously doesn't it help trans people if they denounce all these sex offenders as not really part of their community? But they won't do it!

I've been seeing a lot of "no matter how bad of a thing TiM did, that still doesn't justify misgendering" when someone used HE.

It almost seems like they're wearing plot armor of a sort though, regardless of who is denounced and who isn't. The weird thing is that a lot of this information is seen, but it's like the brain doesn't accept that it's actually happening or something, then dismissed. I want to say that there's some arguments in the vein of "but they're not really trans", but I'm getting sleepy and a little brain fried so I don't want to tell you something that's straight up wrong. We might have something in one of the stickies though.

HAH!

My mind immediately went for "eldritch" when I was typing it because of how much it really does seem like an inability to comprehend what's happening, something being there that our brains don't fully understand and so it compensates for in ways that it will.
