Of course, the radical feminist position that masculinity is natural and healthy, and femininity artificial and harmful, is also inherently sexist
Of course. That's an important theme. It's as though it's being suggested here that radical feminists chose this view, when I think it's more correct to say that they are reacting to it.

In contrast, she mentions and quotes a total of four trans women (zero from books), and two of them are quoted to supporting the radical feminist position.
Might one argue that since these feminists feel their fight has been co-opted and, despite the many ways trans individuals are less assured of their safety and rights than cis women, the radical feminist is actually the more oppressed insofar as identity politics has left them behind? In which case, might we celebrate that time is given to this minority rather than criticize the piece for being one-sided?

frequently providing physical descriptions
I count only three instances, none of which are offensively dwelling on appearance in the way that media often is scrutinizing women's bodies. One of these descriptions is particularly well meaning: it is given only to color the story of abandoned transition with the image of hormone-induced stubble. To mention that there are physical descriptions of any of the activists in the piece here is obvious pandering.

In addition to broad economic trends affecting domestic politics evenly, Fisher also notes the uneven distribution of effects stemming from intellectual property rights (1999, Sect. II. C.). The positive effects of intellectual property rights accrue strongl y to a small number of rights - holders (the paper assumes that there are no significant negative effects to rights - holders); for this reason, rights - holders have significant motive (and potentially greater means) to overcome the significant barriers to acti ve political lobbying.

The formula is simple: divide the population by the number of congressional or legislative districts and use the existing geo-political boundaries to come as close to the required number as possible.
How can we get this enacted/mandated?

The federal government already spends enough on student aid to cover tuition for every public college student in America. Maybe it's time to try.
How can we start this moving in Congress?

powers of persuasion most of all enhanced by a knowledge
Rhetoric not solely as skill in speaking, but also as being knowledgeable about a subject/having something real to say.
-
The political speaker will also appeal to the interest of his hearers, and this involves a knowledge of what is good. Definition and analysis of things "good."
Sounds like a politician, always telling people what they want to hear.
-
In urging his hearers to take or to avoid a course of action, the political orator must show that he has an eye to their happiness.
Their is no distinction between acting concerned and genuine concern for "their" happiness.

we should know the moral qualities characteristic of each form of government, for the special moral character of each is bound to provide us with our most effective means of persuasion in dealing with it
I didn't know that different types of government had different moral characteristics. With the type of politicians we elect I feel like we should be pretty low on the list.

Neither will he be the friend of any one who is greatly his inferior, for the tyrant will despise him, and will never seriously regard him as a friend.
I don't know how politics was viewed during Socratimes, but I think this isn't relevant today. Lying and fake-friendships run rampant in the states.

I answer, Socrates, that rhetoric is the art of persuasion in courts of law and other assemblies, as I was just now saying, and about the just and unjust.
here rhetoric is dependent on audience? Rhetoric primarily meant for politics?
