      I don't even know what's real anymore. I don't know if i can trust my observations or if i'm imagining transphobia anywhere. I think that's more devestating to me than having been clearly in the wrong. I could live with having been wrong about this, with having been too trigger-happy, we all make mistakes and sometimes you're just stretched too thin and bark up the wrong tree, that happens and i'd just admit i've been wrong and apologize. No biggie, i have no problem with that. But this nagging self doubt, that's just awful.

        FWIW, you're not alone in reading this as transphobia. There are other people on twitter thinking the same thing. I think both interpretations are reasonable and these tweets are just (unknowably intentionally) ambiguous. Zei has a reasonable defense because they use "these people" after a couple tweets, and they deny using they/them for Natalie when called out.
