Under no circumstances do I blame him. If that is the case then why do I, you and others care about young girls taking testosterone and transitioning? If those girls are vulnerable, impulsive. troubled and in need of protection so did the 12 yr old Coleman.

You're free to your opinion. Because banning children from consuming substances like tobacco and alcohol or powerful life-altering drugs for their health is different from absolving someone who through the ages of 12-14 targeted girls with with sexual harassment of any responsibility. He said he was diagnosed with PTSD at 15. If he punched someone during episodes, sure. What about PTSD excuses him trying to extort nudes from his classmate and going through with his threat to share the one he had when she refused? This doesn't mean that he doesn't have the capacity for change, but this will always rightfully follow him as long as he is a public figure.
