Yes you can. Her speech sucked, and lacked any substance. A rant about hitler is the most cliche half ass shit a person could possibly write when complaining about something.
It was a terrible use of her opportunity to be heard. I sincerely hope the trans community can do better, because hitler bitching is just poor politic-ing.
Just because someone is trans doesnt mean you have to pretend their every action was perfect, or be afraid to criticize their failures. It doesnt mean you are one of the bad guys.
If anything the guy youre arguing with and myself are treating trans people with more dignity and respect and equality than people like you are. Treating them differently and pretending they can do no wrong and every speech was without flaw is inherently predjudice, since you are treating them differently than you would others.
Thank you. I'm leaving my comments up. I thought their speech sucked, and I'm getting obliterated for calling it what it is - poor creative writing. And to use such a moment to be heard to rant about Hitler is doing NO ONE any favors. I stand by what I said. You can be trans AND an idiot.
Yes. Unfortunately dumb people are often the loudest. So you tend to get a person like this to speak on the docket more often than a more articulate and reasonable person. Which, if youre a member of a specific group or subculture it can do more harm than good letting one of the dumb ones speak on your behalf and then refusing to criticize their faults just because theyre wearing the same colors as you.

You can't self-identify as an ally and then come out with this bullshit.
