they do have a point

it is anti-woman to claim that a man with mutilated penis is a woman. shit, that insults just about every woman.

Aimee Stephens had been working in funeral services for 20 years, nearly six of which were at Harris Funeral Homes, when she came out to her boss as transgender.

She had known since she was 5 years old that she was a girl and had been living as a woman outside of work for some time. Though she loved her job at Harris, where she had worked her way up from apprentice to funeral director, she felt she had to hide who she was there. Until she couldn’t any longer.

In 2013, she gave the funeral home’s owner, Thomas Rost, a note that she also shared with friends and colleagues. “I realize that some of you may have trouble understanding this. In truth, I have had to live with it every day of my life and even I do not fully understand it myself,” she wrote. “As distressing as this is sure to be to my friends and some of my family, I need to do this for myself and for my own peace of mind, and to end the agony in my soul.”

After he read the note, Rost simply said, “Okay.” Stephens was fired two weeks later. Rost told her that it was “not going to work out.”

Stephens sued, claiming her dismissal was discrimination on the basis of her sex, setting off a flurry of legal activity. According to court documents, Rost testified that he fired Stephens because “[she] was no longer going to represent [herself] as a man. [She] wanted to dress as a woman.”

From the OP. In the interim, Obama's EEOC changed prohibition of discrimination from "sex" to "Gender Identity" unilaterally.

If you don't want a bearded lady running around while a loved one is being displayed at the Funeral Home, making a Clown Show of everything, you're a disgusting bigot.

The TERF War, which, as the article notes, has been simmering for half a century, is one of the reasons for the Milo riots in Berkeley two years ago. Before Berkeley, Milo got some favorable support from strange quarters as he's normally getting into spats with feminists. Gender critical feminist Megan Murphy (she was recently Twitter banned) praised his outspoken stance against male genitals in women's locker rooms. There is a reason that many of the black clad protestors on the front lines of the assault on the student union center at UC Berkeley had shields proclaiming TRANSDYKES ARE GOOD AND PURE.
