Good boy points.
There's a lot of very insidious pro-troon propaganda circulating on social media and in the workplace these days. Transgirls are constantly painted as the most oppressed women in the world. Well-meaning but naive people donate to them out of pity and because they don't want to be branded a transphobe. The troon medical-industrial-charity-grift complex runs on deception, manipulation, and guilt. They are very good at inducing guilt in marks they accuse of being cis or transphobic or terfs. You're not a bad person, right? Better toss a coin to your trooner to prove it!
I literally know a man, in his late 30s, gainfully employed, married with a child, who had a mini crisis about if he might be a dang dirty transphobe cause he felt like he could never date a transwoman. This is a married, straight, Hispanic man, who grew up in New York in the 90s, and he fell for this stuff.
People don't know about the fetish aspect, they don't know about the reality of amholes, they don't know about the coping, the seething, the dilating. They're only told "support trans - it's what Good People do!" They see doctors and people who look like doctors say that it's ok.
Think of everyone who got their bloomers in a twist over J. K. Rowling, now think about if any of them actually read her essay or could tell you what horrible thing she did.
Giftcard scams seem really stupid from the outside, but people wouldn't do them if they didn't work and generate money for the scammers at least some of the time. Propaganda works. Guilt-tripping and obfuscation and social pressure work.
This is why it's important to peak your friends. They can get scammed otherwise.
