Yeah, but this is like people making fun of Nick Griffin (our local far-right party leader) for having one eye. It's not that he isn't an irredeemable fascist thug, it's that the fact that he has one eye isn't relevant. And I realise that there's an additional dynamic with the gender imbalance in fandom (boy howdy, do I realise it), but still, even if you have to think of it as showing respect for transpeople in general, please do.
