I don't think anyone involved here is acting in bad faith at this point. Look at Awoo's explanation here: https://hexbear.net/post/65478/comment/669147 for how the trans comrade could mean well but be reacting badly.

I definitely dont think anyone is intentionally wrecking. Just misguided people.
I can believe that. But I can also believe that if you run an account called @NuclearTakes you're inevitably going to fall into a pattern of stirring shit, starting drama, and drawing hard lines between Good Guys and Bad Guys. I'm not saying it's their responsibility, just that it's not a kind of posting that's conducive to solidarity or productive conflict resolution.
This was still an incredibly dumb thing to say lol. Gloria is not "good" for this.
I've seen the trans comrade's twitter. She's legit. She tried to bring up their concerns internally and got rebuffed.
ETA: I might be in the wrong on this. Give me time to process and course correct. My brain is bad.
anything's a dumb thing to say if you post a cropped screenshot of 40 words on twitter and encourage people to interpret it in the worst way possible.
