I don't read the article the same way as you. To me, the paragraph which contains
Many think of gender in black and white terms, but there is a great deal of unacknowledged diversity, said Dayne Law, the Pride Center’s transgender program director. The conference supports those who don’t fit in strict male and female categories, as well as their loved ones and the professionals who help them.
appears to make it clear that they are not talking merely about transsexuals.

I agree that the specific examples in the article are of TS individuals, but are we now to be banished from being recognised as part of the TG community? If so, I commend you to the separatist group whose manifesto was publicised in the TS forum. Also, you say that this is part of a Transgender Awareness Month, could it be that there is still time in that month for a second article to appear? A single article for a whole month seems somewhat paltry to me.
