an artificial construct-- but one (and this is key) deliberately created with the express purpose of oppressing the 51% of the population that mistakenly believe they are 'female'.

So for a transperson of either gender to want to become the other gender, or to identify with the other gender- in the case of FTM they are emulating and attempting to become the oppressor, and in the case of MTF they are trying to embody an artificial construct which is oppressive and which the embodiment of constitutes continued oppression for others.

As for the rant you linked: Jesus, that person is a piece of work.
