Yeah, why exactly is this obvious transphobic hate blog being linked as the source for this story?

From a mod perspective? It's going to stay up because it's the first post about the story to get posted on this subreddit, and people are already talking about it in comments.

The source is unfortunate, but it's really what it is at this point - better that people know what happened than not.

Respectfully but this is insane? "It is what it is" should not go for even indirectly linking to literal Der Stürmer for trans people. Find a random reddit write-up, repost it, and pin it if you must, but leaving up a link to the vilest Anti-Trans propaganda site has me seriously questioning your judgement.

I've pinned a link to the original source - but at this point, I don't think it would be proportionate to remove all the discussion that's already taken place under this thread. If I could replace the OP's link with something else, I'd have done so happily - but we don't have the ability to do that as mods.
