The author of this piece is Masha Gessen, age 54. Gessen has a recently-minted "identity" as "nonbinary and trans" and "uses they/them pronouns" that still have that fresh-off-the-store-shelf smell. Coz as Gessen reveals in the article, Gessen didn't start "transitioning" until she - oops, they/them - was over 50.

Here's a video of Gessen did with Frontline in 2017.https://youtu.be/Kk9igTqTx9s

Interestingly, the writeup on the Frontline website still refers to Gessen by pronouns that correctly denote her sex. Guess they're transphobes. Or maybe they missed the "gender reveal" party and memo.

Also, just a brief glance at this video shows that Gessen sounds and looks like a zillion other women of menopausal age or older. Many of my friends and I - boring older women with no gender speshul status - look as or even more "nonbinary" and "trans" than she does. Due to our edgy hairstyles in our youth, our practical hairstyles during most the rest of our lives, especially when we had young children and/or demanding jobs, and the fact that several of us have been bald at times due to chemotherapy for cancer, and now in our dotage we are balding naturally, our hair is just as - or actually far more - "masc" as hers. My pate currently looks more like the Rock's, Bruce Willis's and Yul Byrnner's than Gessen's. And she definitely has better teeth!

There should be no debate. No transing of kids should be allowed.
