Salon.com: I Hate My Dad's Transition

On Tuesday of this week, Salon.com published a piece by Danielle Brown, a writer with a degree in psychology, working on a book about her relationship with her transsexual father. It's well-written, but I have problems with it.
Here's the headline and tag: "When my father became a woman: After Dad had gender reassignment surgery, he promised he'd be the same person. Then why do I miss him so much?
I respect the writer's opinion -- there's no question that parents' lives affect children, often for the worse. At the same time, I can't help but recoil from the seemingly harsh and dismissive tone.
