Your assumption doesn’t really capture the article. It’s not about a single pedophile, it’s about rot within WPATH, which might turn back the clock on trans rights.
To summarize, WPATH published a new standard of care that removed lower age limits. It did this while consulting with at least one child castration fetishist, which is a huge and disgusting conflict of interest. WPATH should clean house and purge all pedophiles, retract SOC 8, publish an apology, and write a new version that doesn’t have input from known pedophiles.
Aside from the pedophilia angle, the eunuch chapter was done while consulting with said eunuch fetishists. If WPATH is just publishing fetish material, maybe Ray Blanchard is right and trans people are just AGPs, trans women are just men in dresses, etc, etc. It’s a bad look.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to ignore this. This is the sort of thing that can strongly influence public opinion.

Agreed, there is no point to this article except to seemingly ignore the incredibly problematic and disgusting pedo bend and focus instead on “eunuch” as a gender identity bothering the author.
I don’t think it’s a political stance to say pedophilia is worse than an adult willingly cutting his junk off. Personally I don’t care what you do with your own body, but leave the kids out of this.
Not sure why this was even posted, what the intent was, or why the focus wasn’t on the incredibly pedophilic and racist elements of the story written and instead raging on the choices adults make to their own bodies. Priorities, people.

It’s all the right has, their party has done literally nothing but piss people off. These are the posts of a dying political party

I think its because of all the posts about pedo priests and the like. Reminding everyone that pedos are everywhere

I think there’s articles that better make the point OP was trying to make besides this one. This one confused me. As to why I felt compelled to make an assumption on it.
The only problem I see with OP finding a source to better articulate and illustrate the point he’s trying to make, is that the media and the internet are heavily biased now.
This may have been the only article he could find that was somewhere along the lines of the point he was trying to make.
Just a guess.
