I don't know how many trans people need to hear this but if you're hunkering down to fight neopronouns, people who denounce the t-slurs, or anything of that sort, you've been radicalized against entire trans culture and existence by a violent fascist culture that wants you dead
The same applies quite frankly to even cis lesbians. Insert "you know who I'm talking about" stinger here.

*ie the massive and ongoing problem of cis especially white lesbians just...being massive shitbigots against literally the entire population of all queer people ever,
exactly every kind of non cis, non allohetero, etc etc person who falls even slightly outside their narrowly defined club.
For anyone wondering, yes I am absolutely talking about people who hate bi lesbians. Jesus fucking christ. It's literally the most inconsequential thing to get mad about, and it very quickly snowballed into the most absolute vicious violence in tweets and DMs.
"A lesbian whomst bi / a bi person whomst lesbian" is like practically "girls wearing pants" levels of culture jamming the gender binary, in comparison to how fucky gender and attraction can *really* get. Like it really isn't that hard to start from "This label do not and
has never named, or been able to name, exclusive attraction to only one gender, because humans are that varied and even a slight shift away from rigidly policed anti-queerness breaks the entire definition." It's a niche of sub-niche thing that not even most queer people,
lesbians, and whomever are aware of if you walk up to them in random conversation. There is literally no way to be that obsessively mad about bi lesbians without focused radicalization in the same way as TERFs -- fittingly, since the shitcourse has been using entire TERF language
and talking points since the get-go and has recently moved to open misgendering, truscum beliefs, anti-trans harassment, and so on

And there is literally no reason for you to find it that impossible for it to be without internalizing a homophobic gender binary that all-consuming
violent and transphobic from the culture around you.
Like what the fuck. The most singularly effective sieve for people who are or are not hostile to trans lives should be more in the direction of "Support trans people even when they can't transition and fight like hell for truly universal health care," not "label mixing go brrr".
On that topic, aggressive and violent suppression of any nascent amount of inconsequential play is a stock tactic of fascist and bigotry culture that is one of the primary forms of bigotry and violence that trans people in specific face.
