I don't believe she ever met a trans person in the time she was an "ally" to us. Had she done so, that would surely have made a stronger impression than the random story of one trans person who used really awful methods to try and prove a point about trans acceptance in society (yes, I'm famiilar with the case, I'm a trans activist in Canada).
And there is something truly...overripe and on the path to corrupted rottenness...about claiming that she is being silenced. She is writing in a published article. On the Internet. Where literally anyone in the world can hear her, if she had anything new or interesting to say. This is as clever as right-wing @ssholes going on Piers Morgan to whine about how silenced they are.
I think I've made the case, pretty much. This person was never an ally. She had some knee-jerk responses from her innate decency, then squashed them down and finally turned to the Dark Side because she...(checks notes)...read about a trans person who was bad.
Would an actual ally make that fundamental thinking error? One bad person? Would she be okay if I said "cis women can't be trusted and are clearly sexual predators" because Ghislaine Maxwell exists? I should hope not. I wouldn't be. It's absurd and wrong on its face.

(sorry, the Holocaust mentions are coming, I thought they'd be in this bit, but they're in the next two)
