Over at the Nashua Telegraph. It's on what causes Transphobia.

    Why are they so anti-Trans? It's a matter of pardonable ignorance.

    In the days when 95% or more of the population was in agriculture, it was impossible not to know that some animals were neither normally male nor normally female. "Intersex" conditions were obviously real, tangible things. Some had ambiguous genitalia, some were hormonally mixed up "freemartins" with cross-gendered behaviour, it was accepted by everyone that while most animals were wholly male or wholly female, some were not.
