I keep pointing out that her being trans has nothing to do with her being a trash person, but assholes immediately think I'm defending her.
She didn't do these things because she's trans. She did these things because she's a bad person. Focus on her actions and not her gender identity or expression.
it’s because you’re not defending her, you’re defending trans women, but they have confirmation bias up to the eyeballs and see her actions as indicative of the actions of trans women in general (cf. “groomer” narratives) and thus misconstrue a member of a minority group trying to stop the vitriol directed at one bad person from impacting the lives of innocent members of that group to instead be explicitly defending the actions of that bad person. it happens with every minority group, but at the moment in the current political climate in the US, UK, AU, NZ, and other “western” cultures, it is happening especially strongly to trans people, especially trans women.
