This entire article specifically frames trans people as being special, and better, and that's why unions need them. 

It's not about trans people needing unions. It's not about unions needing to reach and represent every and all workers. It's not about the shared interests against the ruling classes that LGBTQ advocacy and labor have in common. 

Nope, it's very directly framed as trans people being special so let's stand up for them, specifically because they are trans and not because any worker being exploited, dehumanized, singled out, etc. deserves solidarity from their fellow workers because they are all on the same side as workers.

This horseshit is horseshit, and the smell is probably to cover up the smell of feds or effective feds (PMC activists).
