Sorry, but somewhere along the way in leftist circles, "don't tone police me" became synonymous with "I'm allowed to be as shitty as I want to other people because of my trauma" and that's the behavior I can't get down with. Trauma is an explanation, not an excuse.

You jest but there's literally a hipster coffee shop in SF that famously sells a $10 toast...as of 2014 when I first heard about it from my roommate who worked there so it's probably $15 by now.
From a fellow trans person: I know you mean well, but shame/ridicule is the least effective agent of change. This kind of attitude I hear not just from you but other leftist queer friends just straight up leaves a bad taste in people's mouths and does nothing to convince folks of your cause, no matter how good your intentions are. To quote a Tshirt I once saw: Kindness is more punk rock than a middle finger.
Collective care and justice should be rooted in compassion, not denigration and superiority complexes.
