This wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and it was interesting to hear this person's perspective.

However, at the end of the day they don't really seem to be taking responsibility for their actions (I'm carefully choosing pronouns now and switched a few times for a variety of reasons). I am sympathetic to the desire to be treated as fundamentally human and not somebody's sex object or object of ridicule.

My problem with trans people isn't at the individual level of wanting romantic and spiritual fulfillment. It is with a community that refuses to police itself regarding boundary violations. When trans people collectively stop demanding sexual access to others who don't want to interact with them sexually, collectively stop demanding deep changes in fundamental aspects of our language, and collectively shame calls for violence within their own ranks, then I am open to having a conversation with them about some of the valid points that are raised in this article.
