Now if this were a TiF LARPing, I'd be impressed

If it had turned out the "Trans Person" was a woman LARPing as a man, I'd think, "wow! She fooled me!" I HATE seeing crime reports that say "she... she.... she" There is NO SHE here! It's yet another violent man.

This is just my interpretation so take it with as much salt as you like, but from the way they wrote the article I think they do not see him as a woman, and the pronouns were just a way to try and seem 'politically correct' enough to escape too much backlash.

Just look at the article, he's never referred to as a woman or even a trans woman, they use 'trans person' instead. Then they 'deadname' him, and his new name is framed as if it were a nickname.

I agree. The title itself is very telling. If they were woke they would have used "`woman" instead.

As far as I know the Post Millennial is a conservative-leaning page, but since it’s in Canada they probably have to bow down to the woke-ism to a certain extent or risk getting “punished” in a serious way (since Canadian TRA laws seem much more punitive than in the U.S.A.).
