Isn’t she seen as harmful for non-cis/or transwomen LGBT folks? I’m not super knowledgeable on her though

In what way? As far as I know they have spoken out against TERFs and the like and are themselves not identifying as cis.

Specifically I know they have always argued for a more open and inclusive perspective of womanhood so I‘m unfamiliar on how they would be problematic.
