I get the impression that she's/it's doing this from a place of pain and desire to lash out, and "the system" is an easy target for her to fix onto. Not out of any sense of morality.

That's an odd take but I'm getting old. Once you cross 30 its incredibly to spot when someone is an NPC laundering hate in the guise of reading minds. They're clearly young or angry, so you let it go.

The adjective is missing from your comment so I mean not sure whether you meant to write that it's incredibly easy or hard. I certainly do not presume to be a mind-reader, but I do have experience with gender dysphoria. Self-hatred is a hell of a drug.

She appears to have talent in connecting these data sources, but she's also in way over her head when it comes to motivation. On the world chessboard, she's a pawn. I can easily imagine that she's being egged on to do harm to the quasi-neutral but not isolated society that is now her life raft.

As I understand it, self hatred arises not from gender dysphoria but rather how others treat the person experiencing that.
