I'm too tired to have much google-fu at the moment, but there are definitely articles written by über-feminists attacking everyone on the trans spectrum.
Their basic argument is that anyone who's assigned female at birth and prefers to identify as male is a traitor to females, and anyone who's assigned male as birth didn't experience growing up as an oh-so-oppressed female thus is unable to possibly be accepted into the group of victim-playing wymmmyyynn.
Because, yanno, the best way to work toward equality and understanding is to alienate as many people as possible, especially those who are likely to be much more like-minded than not. Blech.
