According to MOS:GENDERID [1], a person's former name can be used when they were notable under that name. You're trying to make it out as if there's some nefarious double standard when there's not, editors just want Wikipedia to be clear and encyclopedic.

It's incredible that in a discussion about brutal violence against a child, the child victim is being painted as the "extremist"!

People are downvoting factual comments like this then talk about “trans-activist extremism”…

Strong “Don't contradict my opinions with facts” vibe.
