Jailed for kidnapping, then attempted to kill an inmate, castrated himself with a razor, diagnosed with personality disorder, sold drugs and sex in prison.

Honestly the truest representative of the pride movement I've seen.

I do love how all the people who rushed to his defence or tried to downplay his words have “Homered the hedge” as more and more details about how vile he is came out.

What? My activist friend asked me to stand with this stunning and brave lady and so obviously I just did it without having the first fucking clue who or what I was supporting. That's how just twitter activism works!!!

People defended him?

Yes, a lot of people defended, played down or selectively ignored his comments.

They had like a hundred or so people come out and protest his arrest.

The phenomenon used to be known as "teflon trans," the idea that because they're so oppressed they can't be held responsible for anything they do. Nothing sticks. That's why the T were so paralyzed when it came to the Jonathan/Jessica Yaniv situation. And it happens every time a trans person is arrested. They focus on "misgendering" in any news coverage, like the couple of shooters we've had over the last couple of years.

Google is biased so I can't find anything about "teflon trans" or "teflon" in general. Can you link me some definitions?

Use duckduckgo instead of google. I just did and found several instances of it. I think the term may have originated on the Gender Critical subreddit when they noticed a pattern that anyone accused of doing awful things seemed to get a free pass out of it if they were trans.
