The positive is that the term “her penis” is in scare quotes throughout the article. I don’t think I’ve seen that before. It’s a step forward, and the writer is definitely thumbing their nose at the atrocious Ipso guidelines, while still feeling obliged to stay technically within them.
It’s also interesting how very clear it’s made that he’s a man/male, and a reference to how recent the “transition” is, in a way that allows for the suggestion that he might have been less than sincere.
Along with the term “trans predator” and the reference to Adam Graham/Isla Bryson, I think this actually represents a step in the right direction. It’s not that long since we were seeing pieces that made no reference whatsoever to the fact of these sex offenders actually being male, just calling them “women” throughout.
I hope very much we won’t see any more of those now we’re in the post-Graham era.
