Well, she asked for names, not a full dox, but I would agree that she should have been temporarily suspended for that, yep.

> like some trans-esclusionary radical femminists

They tend not to be leftist/liberal in my experience.

"liberal" is a confusing word; for a few centuries leftist/liberal meant very similar things in the west. Today we have strong movements of illiberal/authoritarian on the left while the right (in the US) has strong libertarian movements.

Consider the famous example of the baker and the homosexual wedding. Without judging the standard leftist position is significantly less libertarian than the usual position on the right.
