It's honestly really weird Lily Orchard's defense kind of hinges upon "you can't trust Courtney's account because she's been transphobic towards me and thus her motivation for accusing me is just to pedojacket me as a trans woman" when Lily Orchard frequently misgenders people she doesn't like or agree with. Like explicitly. You can't just all everyone who disagrees with you "it" and dehumanize them and strip them of their identity and then turn around and say anyone who does similar things is motivated by bigotry.
She does it to like, everyone, from cis people to yes, other trans people and other trans women. By this logic Lily's own account should be discredited because she also misgenders people and doesn't really give a shit about it and also wishes death upon them openly and without any remorse even if that person has just like, said her pokemon opinions are shit. She's said truly vile shit about people who are just like "these opinions are bad and you should feel bad".
Courtney shouldn't have misgendered Lily in DMs like a year ago. That wasn't right, Courtney has said it wasn't right and publicly apologized for it, but 1. she just found out Lily was trans and reached out despite the years of abuse because she was afraid about how the rest of their family might react and how they might treat her if she is alone and a minority and 2. just found out her abuser wrote several long, lengthy fanfics that detailed the exact abuse Courtney was put through and glamorized it and excused it. This doesn't excuse it and again, she's publicly apologized for it and has said it was wrong. But Lily has never apologized for it and continues to do it over and over and over again. So by this metric who exactly is the worse person on the transphobia and bigotry front we should discredit entirely?
