What really bothers me is the number of people who attacked the women and girls who were the victims of this incident, going so far as to claim that the whole incident was a transphobic hoax made up for the cameras. Others claimed they were unfairly persecuting some unsuspecting trans woman

Same!! I'm so angry about that. POS sex offenders and predators hiding behind these laws makes my blood boil enough, but everyone just launching into 'save the whales transgenders' mindsets instead and being willfully ignorant of the actions of people like that drives me fucking crazy.

And I hate that you're almost certainly right about the media avoiding mentioning this development. It's so depressing.

Wikipedia claims that the Proud Boys and QAnon were at the protest, while saying that Antifa's presence is "disputed", lol. Normally I think complaints of wikipedia's bias are exaggerated, but this is ridiculous.

I thought for sure Slate would ignore it, but apparently not. Evan Urquhart was throwing a fit about having to print a retraction:

But ended up limiting their Twitter after receiving negative feedback. I'm guessing if it were up to Urquhart, no changes would be made at all.
