This is unhelpful and reductive. Several users who got banned the night of Beatnik's drunken spree had their bans reversed. Besides, TC69 said in her recent post that she "started banning dissenters without much thought."
I'm not going to agitate over specific bans related to TC69's departure or transphobia in the next few days, because I'm a cis dude and that's really not what this site needs right now, but this really is more nuanced than "everyone who has gotten banned is a vile transphobe."
Who care about bans? Seriously, that's the lamest shit in the world.
You can just create a new account literally the second after you're "banned." The way they're implemented here, bans are a small step above a mod telling you "cut that shit out." A better solution to endlessly relitigating bans would be to make all bans final, full stop, no appeal, no whining about it. Just create a new account.
You're not going to get anywhere in terms of left-wing organizing or provocation if you can't accept someone having an accidentally bad take on something or being less sensitive than is necessary. Wreckers and transphobes are different from ignorance or lack of interest (by the way, this is something that occurs in the physical world a lot too, we tend to care about our own oppression more than that of others). You should educate people, not berate them.
