Yeah, I don't know what to do with that. There are so many variables about it—I have seen abusers and criminals successfully work as part of an SJ community, working from the position of a self-admitted perpetrator in a sphere where people are comfortable with their past and rehabilitation. They can be loved and valuable members of a community.

But THIS perpetrator in THIS case? The community obviously isn't ready to deal with this in a productive manner and the perpetrator is obviously not willing to take any kind of responsibility so why even even fucking bring it up right now except as a pre-emptive excuse for not kicking Kynn to the curb? It's so juvenile and hand-wavey and irresponsible and offensive, like somehow you're not a good SJ activist if the idea of a rapist identifying as a victim ally and feminist at the time of their offence also blithely expecting to return to the foot-shuffling, prevaricating SJ community doesn't make you uncomfortable.

Manipulative echo-chamber is manipulative even in its sleep.
