The site the article's from isn't all too reputable so it's best to take it with a grain of salt, as they likely cherry-picked. Personally, I haven't heard a single complaint against the filter in trans-friendly forums. Most of what I've heard has been praise for it even.

I think they're trying to say transwomen don't care about born-women which, if so, has very little truth to it as it's only true for an incredibly small minority, if even that.

Last week, I saw someone try to switch lanes w/o checking first and they ended up pushing the other car into oncoming traffic. Took them a few seconds to notice, and then they proceeded to drive off like nothing happened.

Again, as Shik has said, it would be nice to see a counter-argument, or even some sort of research/study.

2/2
Going off of the study I linked:
If it's our brains that cause for us to think, feel, and behave the way we do, and a trans person's brain has more in common with the other sex, I personally don't see how they would be pretending to be the other sex. The difference in their brain causes for them to behave in a certain manner, rather than it being purely a personal choice to do so.
As for the part about the media and the supposed hype over trans-ism, I'd have to disagree with that as well. This might just be a regional difference, but I don't see much of anything related to trans people in the news. However, when I do, it's usually 50/50 on being positive or negative.
I also don't see too much 'hype' over it either, which again, might be due to regional differences. I went to high school with a few people who everyone knew was trans, and they weren't treated too well by a lot of their peers, one of which attempting suicide because of it.

I'm not the one downvoting but I can try offering a different viewpoint if it helps at all, though it'll mostly be on your first comment.
1/2 Trans people aren't 'masquerading' as the other sex, as that implies that they'd believe they're pretending, and makes as if it's a choice, whereas, for most trans people, it isn't much of a choice at all. There was a study done last year that looked into the brains of trans people. What was found is that, even in pre-transition people, their brains had more in common with the opposite sex, meaning that a transman had a brain that was more male than female, and a transwoman had a brain that was more female than male. You can read more on that here if you want, or look up 'Dr. Julie Bakker.'

Here's a few articles highlighting the difference between gender and sex for those interested:
http://www.accordalliance.org/faqs/what-are-the-differences-between-sex-gender-and-sexual-orientation/
https://stanmed.stanford.edu/2017spring/how-sex-and-gender-which-are-not-the-same-thing-influence-our-health.html

As for gender itself, I haven't been able to find many sources that are unbiased, but I did find this on a medical/health-related site:

Herd immunity mostly. If most of the population is vaccinated, the chance of spreading a disease is low. If the % of non-vaccinated people rises too much, herd immunity goes away, and the disease spreads much easier.

I can't say much for Mao and Stalin, but Hitler was able to strengthen Germany and resurrect its economy after all the chaos from WWI, effectively saving many people in the country. He was also able to strengthen Germany's military through treaties.
Still a terrible person though.
