Social media apps are invasive. Social media apps controlled by adversarial governments are dangerous. This is true regardless of who we're talking about. The pearl-clutching over 'censorship', 'racism', etc. is kind of ridiculous.

Are Black trans women known for this kind of behaviour?

The question suggests that Black trans women are all alike. It's exactly that kind of generalization that's being criticized.

When a given demographic is a dominant presence in a given area (not necessarily work, it can be anything), there is a tendency for they demographic to start making assumptions about other demographics.

Isn't she the one making assumptions, though? Specifically, the "prejudice and stupidity of the person indirectly insulting her" part? I mean, is that really the only possible explanation?
