Accept that transmisogynised people are hurt daily by those who are not transmisogynised. Period. The girls are allowed to be fucking exhausted by it and if you can't see WHY, if you must argue "but what about these marginalized people in this identity??", then you've already lost the plot.

What about the people they (TME people) are HURTING? Why are TMA people not allowed to express their frustration and pain? Why do the feelings of trans and nb people who stand to gain socially from hurting trans women matter more than the feelings of trans women? Why do they constantly become the priority?

交際その後

女性の消息不明

At the moment my translation is this: Three years ago, he dated/associated with actress Aki Nishikawa. After that, the woman's whereabouts are unknown.

It's on a note on Akane's wall of Aqua and Hikaru, more towards Hikaru's side. Translating it to "dated" just feels so wild yet that translation is more common compared to a more neutral translation like "associated with" from what I've found. Could you help? Already a thank you in advance!

So from what I understand, 交際 (kousai) has a similar nuance to it as the English word 'relationship', where depending on the context in which it's used, it can refer to a pretty broad range of associations across personal and professional spheres. I do think 'dated' is correct in this context since (afaik so please take this with a grain of salt!!!) in entertainment journalism and tabloid-style writing 交際 is the standard term specifically for a romantic relationship. If you see it used in a headline, it's almost definitely referring to romance unless there's very specific context suggesting otherwise and my best guess is that these are the sorts of places where Akane would've sourced some of her info.

'Dated' also seems to be the translation favored by the official TLs - MangaPlus is the only official TL I know of that differs, going for the more neutral 'associated with' TL, but it also is straight up missing half the text on the post-it, so I'm going to err on the side of YenPress' TL being the correct one.
