Ironically, Jesse Singal's article about detransitioners in the Atlantic was a big part of my peak trans journey. I know they caught a lot of shit for it, and it seems The Atlantic has been self-flagellating on the altar of transactivism ever since.

The Atlantic's self-flagellation for causing offense to trans activists began much earlier than that. The magazine got a huge amount of flak from TRAs for running Amy Bloom's way too-revealing article on AGP cross-dressers in 2002, so much so that the magazine removed it from its own website and has gone to great lengths to scrub it from the web entirely. It's only available as a google drive document now:
