"People shouldn't have to walk on eggshells at the risk of hurting someone's feelings", that's why they're wrong. The statement itself isn't completely wrong in a general sense, but it doesn't apply to this situation at all. Nobody's feelings were hurt, someone's dysphoria was triggered. Those are not the same things, and comparing them is absurd.

And nobody needs to "walk on eggshells", because dumb jokes that almost read as troll/discourse bait like Secret!OP's rarely happen for obvious reasons. Saying something like that might not mean Secret!OP is a troll, but they certainly knew it would get a reaction. There's middle ground between walking on eggshells and saying something that any research could tell you would have negative consequences on people. This is the same arguments people use to defend comedians who only punch-down with their jokes. Yes, comedy gives you leeway, but you can't pretend that it completely precludes actions from having consequences.

So yes, they are wrong. They're not a wrongdoer or someone to blame. They're just not right. That's another thing that has a distinct difference. Someone can put forth an incorrect notion or controversial opinion, and others can correct or debate them on it.
