>Finally, doesn’t it seem a bit unfair to accuse an author who is actively trying to help trans people of transphobia? Can’t anyone just have a difference of opinion, even if we strongly disagree with said opinion? This type of thinking is exactly why skilled people are running from the non-profit sector. You try to help and invariably wind up painted as some kind of villain. It’s a wild world we call our home.

I can't speak for the text or the author here as I've never read it, but I think this is simplifying things a bit too much. Is it unfair? Maybe. It's also unfair to be subjected to transphobia. The idea of intent versus actual impact is kind of important in these topics. You can have good intentions and cause a lot of harm. Let's also not dismiss that the non-profit sector is diminishing because society as a whole doesn't care about it if it doesn't affect them and many countries are stumbling into capitalist hellscapes. Putting that on one trans person's outlook of being represented is silly.
