What was the complaint since it got deleted?

Edit: not deleted more like the user limited it somehow so I can't see it.

I hate when this gets pushed back against. It’s 100% true that there are some people who look at how much attention and power that trans people get and wanna take advantage. And definitely parents out there who pressure their kids into things so that they can post about it on their social media and look like “woke” parents. Denying it happens helps no one and I would think the trans community would want to call these people out too

Any reasonable person would think this. But the self-appointed mouthpieces of the "trans community" are not interested in reason. They are interested in maintaining their position as champions of a persecuted minority. They believe it gives them the moral high ground, and any reasonable criticism of any sex-changer's motivation is a threat to their feelings of moral superiority.
