He then insisted that the trans woman "stay in her lane", when in reality, as a cis woman, she was out of her lane attempting to define what is or is not transphobic. His first reaction was to defend his ego. A woman of color (unsure if cis or not) responded by emphasizing that it wasn't a personal attack, it was just a request to remove transphobic content and that the most responsive thing to do, as a cis ally, would be to remove it . The original white trans woman responded to Kinfolk's comment by talking about how she has been harmed and how the presence of TERF content makes for an unsafe and triggering space towards trans women. Consistent with this history of abuse, he returns in apologetic mode to the dominant tone of the Kinfolk Kollective commentary. Then, a non-binary person of color steps in to point out how Kinfolk Kollective has failed to be intersectional by hiding its transphobia behind itself.
