Ironically, all reference to Caitlin Dewey's ''Washington Post'' piece
cited by Ms. Stierch has been swept away from the En-WP article [[Gender
bias on Wikipedia]] by a tag-team.

Similarly there's support for the use of a slur against named feminists 
by an advocacy site.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:RSN#Transadvocate_use_in_BLP.2C_etc.

(Even as some of the same editors in the article in question have 
opposed, an most probably will oppose, using an article mentioning 
feminist views and the slur on the journalistic site Counterpunch.)
