Many of us have read Solnit pieces/books in the past, and for the most part, were probably much impressed. And until i read this piece a few days ago, I just assumed that as a well known, popularly distributed, feminist journalist, she was a mix of liberal/radical at best, but more likely, a liberal. This piece of pro-trans propaganda places her firmly in the liberal "feminist" camp. I mean it's not even in the least subtle in this regard. The only thing remarkable then about this piece, as opposed to her many others, is that here she's flipping off her more radical readers while, at the same time, aligning her thought & career more pointedly (indeed) within liberal feminism.
