This was simply too tough to read for me. They're projecting the current gender identity into the past.

Can you elaborate? Do you mean that they’re wrong in thinking she transitioned due to her trauma?

Oh no I just mean the use of pronouns. 'He' even when she identified as female at the time, that's a step too far for me.

Agreed, it becomes word-salad and intentionally insufferable to read.
