As I said, Beth is a M2F and her comments in her rant were edited (explicatives deleted, primarily [-X ) by me. I am sure she knows at least as much about F2Ms as we do, but she was not addressing their unique problems in her rant. Anyway, take her comments for whatever it was worth to you. Perhaps I should have edited it more to include only her comments about the people she considers transgendered? I thought including the other material would give everyone some background for the strength of her opinions, agree with her or not.

Beth is a civil rights attorney who was asked by the other partners (one of whom she claims is a closeted CD, and no I do not know why she thinks that) to leave the partnership when she transitioned. She has not been able to be even hired as a civil rights attorney as her past is following her. She and her partner/wife started their own business recently, and she does pro bono representation for TS folk. For fun she plays the guitar semi-professionally and writes songs, and much of the time is serious as a heart attack.
