Both Stern and Moutot have put up with a lot of shit in the last few years and have been badly let down by quite a lot of female feminist intellectuals here.
It's interesting how the different media landscape, different intellectual tradition and the lack of a JKR-type figure has formed how this has all played out.
Insulation from some of the more batshit American 'intellectual' writings has helped a bit but you do get radio4 equivalent programs on Judith Butler. At least being 'kind' isn't really programmed into french women in the same way!
Purely anecdotally the only 'trans' kids at my kids school came from US or English schools and their teachers (apart from the English one) resolutely refer to them by their original names. They are all classic slightly weird lesbian girls of course poor things.
