I think what the trans community really needs to understand is that ignorance does not always come from a place of malice. Going on the attack against people who simply aren't well versed on the subject will just likely turn potential allies against the cause. Helping people understand is how you win hearts and minds, ostracising them essentially just alienates them from the cause and gives ammunition to the people who are maliciously opposed to trans rights and people.
