Trans' self-positing of their gender (a social construct) on birth certificates over-riding observed sex (a social construct) at birth, legitimates trans (a social construct) people, which has happened only very recently across the world. If both sex and gender are social constructs then so is the gender known as trans and the variants. If not, what are your reasons? Gender and sex have been reasoned to be social constructs. That is the trouble with trans, it silences, cancels dissimilar views.
If you do not agree with what someone else chooses to publish, get writing and present your counter arguments. Don't bitch and whine and demand that they should not be entitled to do what you are doing: expressing your own opinions!
When something like this happens my concern for freedom of speech & publication in academia reaches even greater heights.
