We saw this with the frothing GC reaction the Elliot Page. He didn't come out as trans until he was in his 30s and the transphobic weirdos and all their sock accounts started crying, screaming, throwing up.
The stealth transphobic rhetoric simultaneously argues;

The only good thing about the wild proscription (and active enforcement of that prescription) of Palestine Action has been to show in neon brightness, the hypocrisy of the British Government when it comes to ensuring police tackle armed and actively recruiting, proscribed terrorist orgs here
