atlantic, wikipedia, GloriaHemingway

I completely forgot to mention this here, but I got mentioned in the #atlantic ! Namely for my efforts to change the #wikipedia article on #GloriaHemingway to actually use her name and pronouns.

I wrote a bit more on that here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:TheTranarchist#Gloria_Hemingway_Article_in_the_Atlantic

Long and short of it, the article was mostly decent, though it left out some details and portrayed the change as more civil than it actually was (one editor was called out since he opposed on the basis of "a trans recommended this, it's obviously bad faith propaganda" (paraphrased), ignoring all the policy that supported the change). I must confess, I was surprised to be mentioned in the @theatlantic, more surprised (and honestly perhaps a little disappointed) they weren't that critical given their usual "reporting" on trans topics.
