Eh. Again it's a case where I think this sub should give the article posted a read. The same thing happened yesterday when someone posted an article about pansexuality.

The writer is pro-TQ+. But at the same time he's speaking against TRA rhetorics:

When “cisgender” is weaponized, it’s used to shut down discussion, invalidate ideas, and silence voices.

By the way, check the comments. Transmen are mad at him. A comment made by a non-TRA:

I’m surprised you haven’t been called a TERF in the comments yet, because in part you are making precisely the gender critical feminist argument.

Like I said, the article is pro-TQ+. And no, gay men aren't less men. But the writer is showing how the TRA criticism of gay men contradicts their own mindset, and he's showing this from within the TRA mindset.

It is certainly confusing if you aren't caught up with all the gender-speak, which is likely why a lot of people skimmed through this as well as the pansexuality article.
