LgbdroptheT is a great community. Slate can go suck on a rotten egg.

I mis-remembered, it was The Atlantic, not Slate. I found the article: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/12/reddit-ovarit-the-donald/617320/

Haha. I also came across this, another person interviewed by the author for this exact article, and most of their responses were ignored just like mine were: https://4w.pub/my-whole-conversation-with-kaitlyn-tiffany-for-the-atlantic/

That is interesting. It's good those interactions are online. The gender critical viewpoint is so often misrepresented and painted as "extremist" when it's really not.

I agree it's good they're recorded for everyone to see.

Falsely portraying normal things as "extremist" is a way to normalize absurdity. Once logic is outside the Overton Window, it's no good.

Yes. It still boggles my mind how they can portray it extremist. The world really has gone crazy.

Not the world, just the media and the followers of the media. Which, granted, is a lot of people. But don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
