I read the articles you linked, and that was the conclusion I drew. I'm not sure its helpful to accuse me of reaching them through either 'ignorance' or 'bad faith'. I have empathy for the difficulties of the trans community, but I also have empathy for women who have suffered abuse.

I'm honestly not sure how to square that circle yet. But I don't think shutting down a conversation with 'the paper is transphobic, full stop' is great.
