I don't want to make things worse by adding visibility to queer drama that people might not have seen, but I do want to flag:
If you see people accusing a group of trans women of something, stop and think through what's happening.
The standard of evidence required for social attacks against trans women is incredibly low.
We should try to identify when that's happening and stop it.

Lefties do this. Other queer people do this. Other trans women do this.
One of the reasons that trans women are so socially vulnerable is because there's so much social pressure to believe false accusations made against trans women, or to round up small errors made by trans women into giant conflicts.
It's on you to be able to identify when this is happening, and do what you can to stop it.

The transfem instance being accused of all sorts of horrible things is one of the kindest and most responsibly managed instances on fedi.
The instances making these claims are also mostly queer people.
The accusations are seemingly pretty silly stuff, blown up into something huge, and presented without receipts.

It is laundered pain, not a balancing of scales.”
