Alice Dreger is a gem! She's not "on our side" but her article and book are full of insights and are good reads. An honest person to the core and one of my heroes.

not "on our side"

honest person to the core

Does not compute. From my point of view, that's enough to be "on my side", at least at this point in history. I'll take rationality.

Even if someone disagrees about the woman/trans thing, if it's an honest disagreement, that's a starting point and we can try to figure out why we disagree and have a discussion.

Exactly, you are so right, that's why I used the scare quotes to indicate a gross oversimplification :)
