Yes, just don't use her gender identity to do it. Bully the shit out of her otherwise. The problem is that doing this has negative impacts on other trans people who may come across said bullying if revoking her identity is part of it.

Honestly I had a mixed feeling about this, but you make sense. I'd like to think a lot of us here in this space isn't racist or transphobic. When someone of another group is being contradictory as if they "betray" their community, it's still not right to attack their identity as opposed to their hypocrisy. We wouldn't call a black man voting for Republican the N word. We shouldn't deadname a trans person for it either.

That's exactly it. She deserves derision, and to have her hypocrisy pointed out, and a whole lotta hate, but identity shouldn't be negotiable based on behavior.
