I see your motte-and-bailey and I raise you a straw man. I don't think there is much to read into “trans women are trans women, and are in some ways different from cis women” from this author. I certainly don't read “we should be allowed to discriminate against trans women because they are different.” out of it and thus I'd consider the interpretation to be a strawman: its easier to attack the author for it but I don't think its what she meant. I think this gets at her point in the last paragraph, "the assumption of good faith is dead." If we interpret what the author said as the latter statement we are assuming it was said in bad faith.
