ken, i am confused. how does Moore using they pronouns undermine anything? for them to be the kind of palatable trans person to you, they should be using he or she?

@Adrien: That's my feeling. We're constantly hearing the drumbeat from activists that "Trans woman ARE women." Why would a woman not use the her/she pronouns?

Ken makes sense- and I really don't understand the weird use of "they" for a singular person.
