I'm extremely ashamed and disappointed of you, that you're not willing to stand up for trans folk in the face of horrible transphobia. That you're not being critical enough, and you're derailing the conversation. I would recommend looking up "microagressions" if you are unaware of what they are, and how they can be triggering to some folk. Pathetic.
