This story has many layers to it. Past hurt. Current hurt. The current state of ambiguous journalistic practices.
lexi tronic’s statement on xtra! boycott by trans activists, editor’s posting of her birth name on facebook
In my opinion, the right things to do are:
a) Danny Glenwright apologizes wholeheartedly (it is not his choice to make to let others know of Lexi’s triumph with her birth name, plain and simple)
b) discussions with Xtra’s advertisers who are allies of the Trans community
c) mandatory sensitivity training on cissexism for all Xtra staff.
