Professor Stock responds to objections to her views about transgender women

Since I first linked to Professor Stock's essays last week, the various more timid philosophy blogs have picked up her articles as well, in many cases allowing comments (including abuse of Professor Stock–in keeping with the usual rules at these famously hypocritical blogs, abuse is always welcome when directed at people with "incorrect" views).  Professor Stock has now compiled a set of useful responses to some of the objections and comments over the last week.  I commend it to readers interested in these issues, both for the substance of her responses and her emphasis on respect for the dignity and rights of transgender women, though not to the exclusion of the dignity and rights of women.
