I feel that maybe this article makes its argument on the wrong basis. I don't think there's any need to try and shoot down other hypothetical trans-whatevers, especially since, IMO, transracialism is probably every bit as legitimate as transgenderism in theory. It even comes off a bit hypocritical with the child's-play comparison, as gender-bending is certainly something children do. Why be so quick to brush one off and not the other?

The author merely needs to refute these arguments on the basis that such arguments are a formally defined logical fallacy. All else is wasted words.
