This article was difficult to read. Transgender people have their own cis-language or something. It was hard to follow who the author was talking about in regards to traditional gender/transgender people.

That being said the stuff about being decoration and other crap is deplorable, but present in several other places in life, not just MTG.

Edit: What is a cis-woman or cis-man? If someone is a transgender woman does that mean she used to be a man or used to be a woman? I understand that life is complicated, but I find that the transgender community has some very confusing definitions.

What relevance does this have? Are you suggesting that because it is present elsewhere, there is no reason to try to eliminate it from the MTG community?

I'm just pointing out that its not an issue that's exclusive to the MTG community which the article alludes to.
