The joke wasn't in the best of taste and it wasn't something you have to publically agree with, but publically appologizing to transphobes and reporting a trans person to the bigoted police shows us that you're words of acceptance don't stand for anything.

Threatening people with guns isn’t “an edgy joke.”
A lavender ribbon isn’t a noose, and a gun isn’t an edgy joke.
Men are not women, and men who say they are women are not victims of women who don’t agree.
Bet they’d be perfectly fine reporting a “cis” woman to bigoted police. As long as the bigotry is going in the direction of which you approve, it’s all good.
Well they weren’t actually real guns, but neither was it a joke. And still clearly a threat.
It isn’t obvious that the guns aren’t real, so I don’t think their (purported – we have only his word for that) unreality makes them less of a threat.
And kind, misguided, people, just trying to be sympathetic to what they believe to be the most oppressed minority, will believe this shit. Grrr.

I agree entirely.
They look real enough that in the wrong circumstances, jurisdiction, and skin coloration, they would get their bearers shot by police.
