They do, but the tone is implying "by some we mean 1% and 99% is not in good faith," as shown by the way they lump all geeks into transphobic, racist, raging misogynists in the next few lines.

^ I'm just tired of female, POC, or LGBT geeks being constantly treated as "the 1 in a million exception" especially by people who are part of those groups, when we're not an exception or a tiny fraction at all. They're propagating the very "no girls on the internet" myth they're trying to fight.

I think they - for whatever reason and probably unconsciously - are fine with having women on the Internet but really really don't want them to identify as geeks or nerds. It's weird.

But being wrong and dumb about that doesn't invalidate the rest of the article

Re: Links

Still makes it incorrect to characterize their response as "the only reason anyone disagrees with us is they're a bigot"

Also if your response is measured they're clearly not talking about you

Re: Links

True, I'll give you that. It implies more that non-transphobes made "arguments against" and a vast majority of other people made "attacks" on the authors.

But I'm willing to bet a good amount of money that they took anyone who replied with "this is idiotic" and nothing more as an attack against them and the idea and the idea of trans-ness, and not perfectly justified eyerolling at their dramatic, sensationalized headline claiming fact and truth that needs to be dealt with.
