The author went to UT Austin. I guess he grew up and got tired of the Austin scene.  Once this gets out, he will be tarred and feathered and run out of town. If he has already left Austin, he will be turned away at the city limits, should he try to return. He makes a persuasive argument against the whole Transgender thing without relying on religious or moral objections.
