How do these people correctly understand that treating a binary trans woman as a man is violence, but they completely fail to see why the same is true for treating a nonbinary person as a woman when they're not?

I'm going to fucking scream. This ENTIRE ANTI-TRANS HYSTERIA was started by online edgelords relentlessly bullying nonbinary people, especially femme-presenting ones with brightly colored hair. That hatred was a radicalizing force for huge swaths of the alt right. Did we just forget that?

I really wish I could get these folks to understand that in a system that so obviously and overtly hates each of us, hrt users or no, as violently as this one does, trying to conduct this sort of analysis AND reaching this sort of completely absurd conclusion is just inexcusable. Fix yourselves.
