I’m glad you avoid manufactured outrage. In this case, the manufactured outrage is from the people falsely claiming a woman is secretly transgender and spreading misinformation, like in the original post you seem to not have a problem with.

Also, “transexual” is not the preferred nomenclature. Transgender is. The former is an older, dated term and is generally best avoided.

Going by their username, I don’t think they have any compunctions about using dated terminology.
