I think that's the single most unpleasant, anti-trans article I've seen from the GC side in the 3 or so years I've been following this. Yuck.

This is "us" at our worst.

There are some reasonable points in there, but so many straw men, false dichotomies and just unnecessary personal attacks. It's almost a caricature of everything they say about TERFs. This is not a pro-women article, it really is just anti-trans.

But at least it helps throw into relief the comparison with the anti-women stuff from the other side - that's so regular and reflexive and totally accepted. But I always found the comparison difficult to even assess - I was wondering if I was just not seeing our side's sins. I have now.

Yeah, and unlike with the trans crowd, few here seem to like this article at all.
