to be honest, i think her reply was very clear. interpreting it differently is mostly a sign of simply defending her, and i doubt you could sway people who are so set on defending her they can't engage with her tweets critically.

I know people who are set on defending her will not be swayed and are probably a lost cause. My thought was about third-party lurkers reading through the conversations and quietly making their own decisions.
i'm pretty sure if she intended it to sound differently, every outlet that published this would've received a letter from a legal representative, because she does that pretty regularly. to people on the fence i would just explain what she means by it.
I can see a game of broken telephone eventually turning those statements into: "my fans are also transphobic, because they clearly share my views" and then "if you support hp you support my transphobic activity"
And it doesn't help that she swears up and down that she is not transphobic, despite repeatedly alluding to the fact that she doesn't believe trans women are women and believes all amab people are inherently dangerous and violent to women
