Very interesting article. I completely agree with the author. Intersex conditions can't be used to explain transgenderism because most transgender people aren't intersex. Also, if sex was a spectrum as they say, there would be more than two reproductive functions, and it wouldn't be possible to identify average female and male traits at all. I don't understand why it's considered transphobic to recognize these facts. If anything, wouldn't it be trans erasure to imply that, if sex can't be defined by biological factors, there's no need to physically transition, and therefore sex dysphoria isn't more than a social phenomenon?

Also, you don't identify your way into being intersex.
