Well, you posted in support of fragment's post. I took you to be saying "I'm Bey and I approve this message". I don't think it is reasonable for someone to support an argument and then disown it. I think it was reasonable of me to hold you to some account for the argument you appeared to be seconding.
I do think it’s soft evidence
That surprises me. These are the words we are talking about

Being older, though, she went through a long and rigorous process of evaluation, psychotherapy and staged transformation. The current explosion of trans activism is urging a removal of almost all the robust systems through which candidates for sex reassignment were once required to pass.
