The Federalist describing the Advocate as a radical left wing publication should sound a warning that they are not our friends any more than TRAs.

This Advocate? The one that thinks Gays Against Groomers is a hate group? You should try reading the Advocate again some time. It's not what it used to be. (Truly, whose side are you on, here? (Do you want to know what is going on, or not? There are additional links I've already included in another comment as well. Want to imply those are also not credible stories for unrelated reasons? Please, do step up with the evidence and we can discuss.) Is there some mystery about why what's being reported here shouldn't be taken seriously because The Federalist reported it? That's the problem. Even Tucker Carlson gets to look sane and rational right now on occasion because he's one of the only games in town for amplifying some GC messages. This isn't news to you, right?)

We all know quite well that we are struggling with a media problem in which vastly more conservative media will cover this issue than others. If the substance of the article is sound, then yes, it is worth sharing. We are all smart people here who understand the gray areas we are dealing with. There is even a guidance bot on this post offering reminders about that.

Yes it’s shit now and a TRA mouthpiece but radical left wing is a bit of a stretch. I’m not saying we shouldn’t share it either. That should be obvious from my posting.

I just archived the vast majority of the articles that come up under "trans" search hits for The Advocate, because when you are logged in to archive.org and visit the archive page, you can do efficient things like include outlinks. Here's a nice gem for you, if you think they haven't been captured—they have declared, just like our friends at Pink News, that Marsha P. Johnson was transgender. Which directly contradicts Johnson's own self-characterization, preserved on video.

If anyone should be able to keep that information straight and understand why it's a crucial distinction, it would be The Advocate. And yet.

Oh I know they’ve been captured. No question about it. I wouldn’t line a bird cage with it. But radical left wing is a bit of a stretch.

Probably a fair point. I make little effort anymore to ascertain which flavor of left is being a mess in the present moment. It seems to be a shared affliction.

Eva Karilova got suspended for using the Gays Against Groomers banner but Streisand effect ensued.

Yup. It was brief though and she's back. They will never learn that "don't look at that" makes people want to look at that.
