Here's a thought experiment for all of you (men) who just don't seem to understand why outing Dr. Vanderbilt was a bad idea: if Dr. V had been assigned female at birth and had transitioned to male at some point in her past - would her outing have occurred? Yes, but all this poo poo that's come out after wouldn't be the focus, because there is a culture in America (and let's be real, everywhere) that says that trans women are liars and are trying to 'trick' a cis guy into being 'gay' by being attracted to them. That's why her trans status became almost the focus of the article, because a cis white guy 'caught' a transwoman who was deeply, deeply stealth and felt it was his moral obligation to tell men from her past and present so that they wouldn't get 'tricked'. The lgbt community is not overreacting to this at all, because this is poo poo that's dealt with on a daily basis. Dr. V's gender was never part of the con and it's really dumb that people can't see that.
