Sorry, I can't take this article seriously.
I'll be honest; I can't keep all the labels the left has straight. The whole "trans" thing was confusing. That is until someone explained that if I replaced "trans" with the word "fake" it would become crystal clear. So a "trans" woman (like C. manning) becomes a "fake woman. Once the whole thing was cleared up for me, I ended up exactly where your statement above begins.
