The whole trap issue is hilarious because of the parallel to queer. Anilist (an anime website/community) even banned the word for being transphobic.

People wanna call themselves queer? Sure, even though it makes some LGB people uncomfortable! It's a valid identity after all! And let's even call the community at large queer, and call others queer even if they don't like using the word!

People wanna call themselves trap? Wait, it makes trans people uncomfortable, so let's ban it! And let's pretend no one identifies as that, so we don't have to think about it as a valid identity!
