The BBC has an article that gives a decent overview: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-57853385
And Vice isn't doing anyone favors by leaning into the transphobia spin: https://www.vice.com/en/article/whats-wrong-with-the-no-trans-dating-preference-debate/
A lot of this is also from personal memory. I was plugged into a lot of different communities 2018-2021on all sides of the aisle.
Thankfully people aren't yelling at lesbians about this anymore, at least not what I've seen. Unfortunately, the damage has already been done.
Also unfortunately, it seems that people aren't understanding the point of my original comment. And it's that every group has some number of assholes in it, and it's up to the group as a whole to make sure that said assholes don't ruin their reputation.
This isn't meant to bash transpeople. It's meant as a cautionary tale to avoid letting a minority of assholes set how everyone else sees the group.
That BBC article does not give a decent overview. It's hard to imagine a worse source. Google "lily cade BBC" and you'll see what I mean
