Why do people think Dumbledore wouldn't support a transgender student...?

Mr. 'Reinvented himself to separate himself from his childhood'? Mr. 'I don't care what you've done in the past - I am going to place trust in you for the future'? Mr. 'Puts everything on the line in order to hide a students secret identity as a pariah - invents facilities for him and everything'? Mr. 'Hires someone to teach a subject he doesn't like or want - simply to keep her safe from being harmed'.? Mr. 'Goes out of his way to hire and openly support minorities, even at dire cost to his public image'? Mr. 'You wish to be a 'paid Elf'? Yes, very good. Oh, but a 'not paid quite that much Elf'...? Whatever you are comfortable with.'?

Mr. Pheonix? Mr. Rebirth? Mr. Reinvention? Mr. Second Chances? He would continuously create safe spaces to protect those who struggle with being different, listens to their needs and wants... ...but draw the line at a transgender student? Why? Because the Author does...? Then surely every character would be a transphobic ass...?

If ANYONE is going to support a student with different needs, even if it means sourcing magical artifacts/potions/facilities or individualized high-effort care... even if it means being sneaky about it, even if he doesn't understand it... surely it's Albus Dumbledore.

Hi Tom.

For @humlesnurr

I drew a request a commission from @hirenkoi

They hate Albus Dumbledore for his whimsy and luscious hair

them in 1980 (albus thought he was a demon and sev was in the market for a father figure)

what did snape do as a death eater? it's a little unclear. but i think it's likely he did not murder anyone. severus is against killing dumbledore. when dumbledore asks severus to prevent draco from damaging his (uncorrupted) soul, severus says “And my soul, Dumbledore? Mine?” which suggests that severus has not committed murder, even when he was a fully-fledged death eater. althought severus was clearly skilled in combat, this implied that he did not commit the same atrocities as other death eaters. personally, i think he mostly utilized his other talents (which other servants of voldemort did not posess), like (dark) spell creation and brewing. and, of course, intelligence gathering, which he did in both the first and second wars. second, this is kind of a sad moment for albus and severus's relationship. because dumbledore is working to maximize good: this plan will save (what's left of) draco's innocence while solidifying severus's standing with voldemort and preserving dumbledore's dignity. we get where dumble is coming from, but he implies that severus's soul is irredeemable. that his suffering is less significant. snape, who for years has been dumbledore's right hand (especially after dumble's own right hand got cursed lol), gets taken for granted. dumbledore has no ill intent here but he's not great at treating individuals as people–he prefers to analyze the big picture (and makes social blunders lol).
