Also, I would also ask you to not play the same card that the person making the tweet did. What trans community? Who are you speaking for? This is one of the greatest issues with anyone that claims a defense in the name of someone else.
You don't have the slightest clue for whom you're speaking of. Apologies, you do. You may have found a set of individuals that corroborates your perspective, which, again, is the largest problem here. So you know some people - who I will risk saying aren't even trans - that think this is problematic. Alright, here, I found some trans people that think a) this isn't a problem b) they actually find it funny c) actually resent the people problematizing this and d) think this is so trivial and actually detrimental to the bigger pursuit for equal rights.
Now what?
Just bear in mind that you don't get to get away with "A reinforces B so we should stop it". That's just a different flavor of "we can't have violence in media"
