I personally interpreted the original tweet as being against a rather extremist minority within the LGBT community.
It was not in good taste but I think it highlights an actual issue and it's too easy (and perhaps even proves the point) to accuse anyone sharing it or not being overly outraged by it of being 'anti LGBT'. Like JK Rowling being cancelled for saying that women may not feel safe in toilets with men (many women agree), for instance.
You're using a term, TERF, which is used to spur stochastic terrorism[1] by implying that adult human females aren't to be allowed to explain their political needs. You're also using fake quotes (very loose paraphrases in quote marks) to support your demonization.
But, even if she or Dave had said that transwomen are men, and that as such they're as much risk to women (rape, violence, etc) as any other men, why would such an opinion not be worthy to be expressed. It seems distinctly less harmful than accepting the other side on faith, given the many rapes committed by trans-identified-men on women in women's prisons[2] for one.
