For real, this is libshit that can be dismantled on its own merits. Natalie was ALWAYS like this. Insinuating that she developed libby or reactionary views after surgery is shitty.
Edit: I’ve read @kristina’s explanation elsewhere in the comments and while I completely agree that the material conditions of Natalie’s life and and transition have blinded her to the realities of transitioning for a majority of trans people, I find that the casual framing of the title reads like it’s delegitimizing Natalie’s identity - rather than her ideology - because she hasn’t fought in the trans trenches, and that’s where my concern came from.
Edit2: /u/kristina changed the title, it’s good now.
