I looked up the author, and discovered that Libby Emmons is a transphobe (or more accurately a trans-exclusionary radical feminist), at least from reading this one in which she tries to posit that trans women are just in it because we're objectifying misogynistic parodies of women. Great. http://thefederalist.com/2015/06/03/how-the-hypersexual-tran... (check out that weak attempt to reference Kant's thing in itself near the end and how it completely misses the point that it is non-physical- which is exactly what gender is insisted to be by many trans people)
It’s awesome to see that a mere post of an article is enough to conclude that the whole of Hacker News is transphobic, let alone the poster. Mia culpa—I will delete the post soon; I will also burn the article if I can by some means find it in book form.
