Morgane has updated the original blog post of 4/19/19 to reflect JY threatening Morgane with the legal letter.
What I found most telling was this quote from Morgane's article (ICYMI: http://archive.li/EMLZg):
Morgane Oger said:When there is a predator among us, we can’t hear you if you bury your words in hatred and if you don’t reach out.
I don't know if I'm misinterpreting this, but the initial impression I got from this sentence was, "If you're not an ally and we think you're bashing us simply for being trans, we won't address your concerns no matter how true and substantiated they may be."
It used to be the case when there was a bad actor within a group, people in that group would be almost too eager to distance themselves from the person causing trouble and quickly say, "That person doesn't represent all of us, so don't judge us accordingly." Now, loyalty among transgenders that act as mere men in dresses has apparently become first and foremost to the point they will actively defend, white knight, or justify the behavior of their bad actors while doing nothing to speak out against the offenders and their behavior.
Here, it's horrifying that Morgane has the chutzpah to write the quote I cited with his passage above that boils down to: "If we think you hate us, your concerns and criticisms -- no matter how valid -- fall on deaf ears. Now stay in your lane". If there was any doubt before, the original, mealy-mouthed quote seems to bolster the belief that Morgane's reputation is more important to self-defend than it is for Morgane to express concern about JY's history of creepy behavior towards women and girls and the harm it does to transgendered relationships and bridge-building with the community at large.
