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.
