Generally speaking, "Your preferences are inherently wrong and damaging" and "My preferences are inherently right and empowering" are both problematic statements regardless of who is saying it and what they're saying it about.
This. This, so much. It doesn't help that people with certain preferences are encouraged to beat themselves up and apologize constantly should those preferences not be "empowering" enough for some circles.
