What makes you think it’s willful ignorance over garden-variety ignorance? Being incorrect and thinking you are correct is different from purposefully keeping yourself ignorant.

I have no horse in this race, and willfully being ignorant and spreading disinformation about trans topics willfully is indeed transphobic and warrants aggressive shutdowns, like the comment I’m replying to. But unless I’m missing something I don’t see the evidence of bad intent here? It just seemed like a bit of a leap.
