I said I'm not aware of everything that was said by each of these individuals, I did read the article which does tell critics to shut up and lacks direct quotes to each incident.

As far as I'm aware, transphobia has a very specific meaning. It gets used very loosely as "those who disagree" or those who don't understand what we're talking about.
Conservatives want activists to push regular people away. When you do that, then you become isolated. Unfortunately, you're stuck playing their game.

It's not always about playing their game or saying what will appeal to them. We are especially a safe space for minorities, including trans people, and it's not particularly welcoming when you defend people called out for transphobia. If you want to discuss the merits of having discussions with people who need to learn that's an entirely different conversation.
