I see this as being the difference between covering a friend and coddling them. I'll defend everyone in this community with my life if it came to it. But I'm not going to coddle anyone from non-threats, and take the time to actually make sure if someone is simply curious or is a bad faith actor before hand. While it can be obvious sometimes, many times it's just a non-trans ally who wants to learn. I think it's best to give benefit of the doubt at first, until any ulterior motives are exposed.
