It's the "I love ... BUT". And after the "BUT" you know something bad is about to be said. We hear/read it way too often from people who want to be woke but hurt a large amount of people in the process.
I suppose you can do some research and talk to transgender people who felt offended, if indeed you can't see what was offensive about it. I'm not here to educate people about what he/she said.
And it's not like the trans issue is the first issue she's globally having. See Elliot's post too.
