Another anti-trans essay by Helen Lewis appeared in the Atlantic this morning. Lewis claims to be a moderate, but somehow only one side of the debate over trans rights are described as "activists" (and they're described that way six times).
Do ordinary readers fall for this sort of faux-moderate cosplay? I wish I could believe they don't, but I betcha they do. #trans #journalism #propaganda #media
