Default Freedom of speech does not give journalist carte blanche to exploit trans youth

As a former journalist this really bothers me. As a transman this sickens me.

Ms. Brownworth's article had no need, in my personal opinion, for the description of Devon's genitals. She hid behind Freedom of Speech in order to satisfy her own morbid curiosity and more than likely to gain readership. Her own article contradicts her responses to her actions in subsequent interviews regarding the incident.

There is so much more I can say but I have had my fill of discrimination and exploitation from being trans. For now, I will hold my tongue.
