Jessica Yaniv is a terrible, racist, abusive, predatory woman. She's still a woman. The Cis (and/or truscum) don't get to revoke trans people's genders, even when said trans people are unbearably shitty (as is this case here).

I think that at that point, of the many categories any person could reasonably belong to, we're discussing the wrong set of categories (pedophile vs non-pedophile being the more worthy-of-discussion set).
"Transwomen can be sexual predators, too!" is a very bad choice of hill to die on re: a case where someone has clearly been using gender identity to photograph children in bathrooms and exploit the local justice system for financial gain. It's not hard to connect the dots, here.

Maybe I'm getting caught up on your use of "lay claim to". IMO(!) saying that this person can't be [relevant category] because of obviously awful things not relevant to the category is a 'no-true-scotsman' type thing - an attempt at purification. (1/2)

They can still do that and not embrace them / exclude them from the benefits of community based on those awful things. On the other hand, in a persecuted community that already needs to fight awful, unfounded arguments of perversion, maybe it's obviously necessary. (2/2)
