An egregiously bad post from a part of the \"autism\" community that I am starting to loathe.\r

But, of course, she's prepared for that. If you don't agree with her analysis, you're transphobic.

20 years ago, the line was \"reality has a well-known liberal bias\". Unfortunately for these self-declared left-wingers, today reality is squarely biased against them.
