The author of this article should definately educate herself about human sexual differentiation, not everybody who is assumed to have a penis has XY chromosomes, some people are intersexed. There is too many variations in human nature to make such assumptions. Why should the chromosomes matter in categorising people's gender anyway? There are even women out there born anatomically female but with XY chromosomes. Gender is a complex issue, chromosomes or other bits are not sufficient enough on their on to determine someones true gender or their gender identity. And putting transgendered people's private parts on the table and 'tackling' with them so much is very deragatory, there is negativity attached to it by referring to it as the 'male tackle' and it sounds very belittling. Maybe the author should post a picture of her c*** so the readers can find names for it and analyse every detail about it. This person needs to stop writing up transphobic articles about the transgender community, I dare you to put down other communities like Jews and the Blacks because you just couldn't coz your shitty books just wouldn't sell.
