I finally read the thing carefully. It is an embarrassing piece, stitched together with a giant needle and wonky stitches. Solnit makes so many elementary mistakes, states her personal beliefs as statistical facts and so on.

She confuses biological sex with gender

She makes a complete mess of her attempt to explain what might be sex or might be gender but isn't either because she carefully avoided looking for it . She tells us that detransitioning is very rare when nobody can actually say anything about that now, given that transitioning rates skyrocketed in the last ten years among teens, especially girls, and that most who decide to detransition don't go back to the place where they transitioned.

And she also tells us that it's nobody else's business to inquire about very young transitioners because their families know what is best for them.

I want to weep. I liked her mansplaining story, but this is really both so extremely biased but more insultingly showing no thinking and no effort.
