I am becoming increasingly skeptical whenever I read claims of transphobia being made. To be sure, there are those who seek to undermine the rights of transsexuals, and who seek to pass legislation accordingly. But at the same time I see issues like this one, or the one with J. K. Rowling, and it does not seem so clear cut at the least, and at the worst is bad faith sanctimony.

To understand criticism of them you need to develop a deeper understanding of the subject independent of what she wrote. Context is key. Something similar could be said about the topic of the OP. I think people are too quick to assume that criticisms are in bad faith when they are unfamiliar with the background.
