Transpeople weary of being emotionally beat down by society for living their lives are desperately hungry for people to show compassionate concern for them. They yearn for muscular trans organizations that have leaders who stand up for them against the slings and arrows of our oppressors and proactively act to help solve their multitude of pressing problems.
If some organization or someone appears to be doing that, they will find a segment of the trans population eager and willing to follow anyone who will do for us. It's a leadership void exploitable for trans people who wish to take advantage of the situation either to build a name for themselves at the expense of the community or scam it and our allies to line their own pockets.
