Yes, it's very telling that the backlash hasn't been along the lines of #NotAllTrans or something like that, with the T denouncing those members of their segment of the "LGBT community" and standing with their L sisters in saying, "We believe that this is happening and there is no room in the community for those types of people." Instead, the backlash has been, "Transphobia! Transphobia! Transphobia!"

They don't want to admit that many of them are being seen for exactly what they are, and so they hide behind accusations of bigotry. Of course they don't want to denounce those rapists; they are those rapists. And if they learned anything from the race shit going on all around the world, all you have to do is scream "racist" (or "transphobe" in this case) loud enough and you shut down all conversation, because good people are terrified of being labeled as bigots.

What sucks for them is that apparently "being transphobic" doesn't carry the same weight as "being racist" does, and people are starting to care less and less about being called transphobes. Their tactics will only work for so long.
