I feel like the whole archetype of the anime "trap" is already kinda pushing negative perception of trans people from the get go though,

But anime traps and reverse traps literally aren't trans. If it's a slur towards anything it'd be crossdressers. It's also generally a pretty positive thing in the anime community. Theres tons of trap lovers, it's an extremely popular archetype. I think it's genuinely improving the public perception of crossdressers and feminine traits in males and it's high prevalence is effectively normalizing non traditional gender roles.

I'm all for taking back language and labels, but quite frankly since neither you nor Winter are "traps" to my knowledge, it's not your place to reclaim it.

I don't agree with the idea that you have to be in a group to try and alter a words a perception or that you need a right to do so. The word is still clearly in an ambiguous state so the more people using it the "good" way, the better.
