I never liked that article because its message seems to be that we should make it easier for trans women to stay in the closet. Also, there's an unduly focus on internet interactions and politically-minded undergraduate students – that's a method with which you can make any political movement look ridiculous and extreme. Like, I can't remember the last time I heard a strong anti-male opinion expressed in earnest (and I've never seen an academic feminist work in which a contemporary author was dismissed for being/seeming male). I feel like the liberal egalitarianism the author ends up advocating for is already the mainstream opinion on discrimination, and the idea that trans women should not transition and instead sublimate their desire into higher things is certainly also popular enough.
