Oh! Actually there is data that shows this.

Paul McHugh, former head of psychiatry at John Hopkins demonstrated quite thoroughly that transitioning does not help those suffering from gender dysmorphia, and that in men the two largest groups of those suffering from gender dysmorphia were those who were sexually aroused by being in women’s clothing and those who were homosexual and seeking a way to engage those desires guilt free.

I’m gonna make a big post replying to OP but I highly recommend the book When Harry Became Sally for an extremely thorough review of the issue of transgenderism from a philosophical, medical, and cultural perspective.

Yeah, you're probably right, come to think of it. In Martha Nussbaum's Frontiers of Justice, the third section is about species membership, which is where I first heard the "non-human animals" term. In a political theory class in school - that shit's way too dense to read for fun. :)
But Jensen would probably use "non-human persons," yes.

I bought this book but haven't started it. I fist saw Rabbi Shimon Dovid Cowen on YouTube. His book looked great. Rabbi Moshe Weiner gave it an enthusiastic endorsement. Perusing it I read about the Abraham-Brahman connection, which is fascinating.

My summer reading has been Job-like. I put Feser's latest opus on the trunk of my car before taking the garbage to the curb. Drove to work. "Where's my Feser?!" Derp. This happened once before with Schopenhauer, as if to vindicate him.

RADICAL summer reading about Maimonides fighting Kabbalah before there was a Kabbalah to fight.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted.

I learned about the Born Alive Infant Protection Act from Natural Rights and the Right to Choose by Hadley Arkes. Not a "non-biased" source by any means, but I don't think you're going to find one in this arena. Hadley Arkes was instrumental in helping to promote this Act. The book is a good read, and establishes why, if we're going to argue for rights in any fashion, we must recognize natural rights, or else all rights are arbitrary and the pro-choice camp has no justification for arguing in favor of the "right of bodily autonomy."
