If you look into Evan Urquhart's background you'll find she has despised women since she's been a child, which she boasts about in one of her Slate articles. She uses her job at Slate to promulgate lies - as she did in the instance of of the Wii Spa implying that the whole incident was a hoax. See Below: For a very shortened version of her articles.

Outward, A Lesbian Dilemma: All My Heroes Are Men Who Hated Women
By Evan Urquhart, Dec 15, 2014
When I was a young girl, my heroes were all men who hated women. This was before I was a butch (a bookish nerd, my style back then could best be described as slovenly androgynous), and before I knew I was gay, though not before I realized I was different. I never felt I was a boy—I’m not transgender—but, for whatever reason, the personalities I modeled my young self after were male ones. Intellectual man’s man types, to be specific. Larger-than-life dudebros, like Ernest Hemingway or Christopher Hitchens. I imagined myself growing up to be an overbearing, ruthless lawyer like Jack McCoy, aka Sam Waterston’s character on Law & Order, or an angry writer denouncing idiocy wherever I found it (and finding it everywhere) like Kurt Vonnegut. Because the superiority of male people over female ones was all but unquestioned in Western culture through the mid-20th century, this meant they also tended to be the men who considered femininity to be roughly synonymous with weakness and stupidity.
To some extent, this would be true for anyone who took famous men as role models. But my fondness for sexists went far beyond mere coincidence. The sorts of guys I idolized were those least likely to be sensitive to their own sexist impulses, because what I liked best about them was that they weren’t “sensitive” to anything. Competitive, casually self-assured men. Men who were certain they were superior to everyone else and held to the superiority of men over women as an unconsidered corollary. Men who considered their loudmouthed obnoxiousness to be an asset or, at worst, a minor character flaw. That’s the sort of person my young self-imagined growing into, until I realized I was actually a woman—which meant assuming that kind of personality would present a problem.
When I say I realized this, I don’t mean to imply I had a sudden, startling revelation about my femaleness. I’d always understood I was a she, and I never wanted to be otherwise. And yet somehow I was convinced that the disparaging things my male heroes said about women didn’t apply to me, not because they were untrue about females generally, but because I must not be the sort of female they were talking about. Being a strange kid helped—I had the overdeveloped intellect and underdeveloped social skills that precocious children of all genders seem to share. Since I was comfortable with being different, the masculine aspects of my personality were one more oddity among many. These oddities allowed me to nod comfortably along with sections of a novel where the author paused a moment to explain that women were like such-and-so, and then got back to the important parts, which had men in them.
For instance: “The women all had big minds, because they were big animals, but they did not use them much for this reason: unusual ideas could make enemies, and the women, if they were going to achieve any sort of comfort and safety, needed all the friends they could get.” That’s from Breakfast of Champions, by Kurt Vonnegut, which I read in sixth grade, along with Jailbird and The Sirens of Titan. I thought Kurt Vonnegut was the greatest, that I’d grow up to be just like him, and that he was totally right about women (who seemed to be way dumber than my buddy Kurt and I were).
Violence Over an Alleged Transphobic Hoax Shows the Danger of Underestimating Anti-Trans Hate
Police reportedly suspect the viral L.A. Wi Spa video is fake—but it still got two people stabbed.. By Evan Urquhart, July 09, 20214:12 PM
A locker room at an upscale spa. The sort of locker room trans women have every right to be in.
On July 3, an anti-transgender protest outside a Los Angeles spa resulted in two stabbings—all over a social media post that police are now treating as a hoax. Back on June 24, a user called cubanangel posted a video on Instagram showing her and at least two other women confronting a staff member at Wi Spa on Wilshire Boulevard in Koreatown about having seen “a man with a penis” in the women’s changing area. “I’m recording this because I’m gonna make a big deal. I’m gonna take this very worldwide,” she explains, kicking off four minutes berating the staff member over the queer-friendly spa’s nondiscrimination policy.
Soon after the video began to go viral in transphobic corners of the internet, members of the trans community began to raise questions about it—chief among them why the video cuts out as the woman marches downstairs to confront this person she’s allegedly seen, conveniently ending before the trans woman she’s so angry about is shown. The woman also repeatedly mentions children being exposed to a penis, while no children appear on the video and the group don’t appear to have any children with them. These early doubts have been bolstered by reporting from the Los Angeles Blade that police suspect a hoax after failing to find witnesses who saw a trans woman at the spa, and that Wi Spa claims none of their trans clients had scheduled appointments that day.
. Perhaps this is why outrage over the possibility that a trans woman may have changed her clothes in the appropriate facilities grew and grew, culminating in the protest outside Wi Spa, which included a contingent of violent extremists from the far right. The two stabbing victims were attacked by an anti-trans protester: One was a counterprotester; the other apparently a “friendly stab” incident where a fellow protester was hit by mistake.
Anti-trans activism is often thought of as a sideshow or a distraction, but these events show the real dangers of an increasingly extremist anti-trans backlash.
Update, Aug. 2, 2021: On July 30, Los Angeles Magazine reported that five women, including the one who initially posted the Wi Spa video, have filed police reports alleging to have witnessed “male genitals” exposed in the women’s section of the spa on June 23. This does not contradict previous reporting by the Los Angeles Blade that LAPD sources suspected the incident to have been a hoax.
Wow!!! That first part is the most revealing "not like the other girls" confession of why women claim a trans identity. Thank you for sharing both parts!

I felt like I had read everything and now I have been provided with an indexed library. This will look VERY interesting on the internet archive in 20 years!
And further Evan, just keep speaking, the world is peaking!

Wait isn't this where in the end it transpired there was a man in the women's section of wispa who was a convicted sex offenders with a history of indecent exposure and public maturation. He was known to the police for faking a trans woman identity as I recall.
Ha ha. Yes well exactly. If you are forced to accept everyone's claim regardless of how dubious it looks then you will think Merager and everyone is genuine.
I can tell you who has really changed sex. No one. In the history of the world ever. Because its a biological impossibility
THE DEATH OF PETER THIEL’S “KEPT” ROMANTIC PARTNER IS BEING INVESTIGATED AS A SUICIDE
Miami police plan to interview Thiel as part of probe into the sudden death of Jeff Thomas, a model and social media influencer, sources said. By Ryan Grim
"[T]his is a highly financed globalist agenda engineered to manufacture social consent . . ."
This is where I get off the bus. The emperor has no clothes. It's as true for conspiracy theories about a "highly financed globalist agenda engineered to manufacture social consent" as it is for the belief in something called a gender identity.
Interesting. What did you think about the financial market that I cited as published by OutLeadership? And what did you think about all the corporations that are backing this ideology? Or the fact the the United Nations is pushing this in all 198 nation states? How would you categorize such a coordinated global effort? How would you have described the scenario?
I'm sorry, but I'm not quite understanding what you mean by "looks like." Jennifer Bilek has conducted extensive research on the financial aspects of the trans agenda for many years. She provides references to all of her sources, allowing you to follow the money trail on your own. Her research has been cited in various publications and news outlets, and many others on the list have used and cited her work in their own research. Therefore, I'm unsure how you arrived at your opinion.

On the surface, Jennifer Bilek's work may seem to come to outrageous and extreme conclusions. Conclusions that, sure, if not examined might "look like" the work of a crank. But I encourage you to check out her writings a bit more. From what I can tell having read many of her pieces, she simply follows the money, notes which powerful and wealthy trans rights activists are on which powerful boards of NGOs and have access and influence over government agencies on all levels. How much money, where it flows, all gleaned from public records. She does believe there is a "transhumanist" agenda fueled by capitalism, but even more essentially fueled by power. That's not a conspiracy theory or a tale spun by a crank, it's the oldest story of humanity, see Shakespeare, see the Greek tragedies. She believes the goals of these powerful elites reach beyond the transgender instatement of policies. I don't yet have a clear opinion on that myself, but it doesn't seem too wacky to speculate that the rich and powerful want to be richer and more powerful, and her theories about these people profiting from disembodiment as a final frontier are fascinating and compelling. I am not a journalist, and I take everything with a grain of salt. I can only say that I have yet to see anyone refute her tireless and impeccable journalism, and I have seen many writers confirm it.
Indeed, well said, and Jennifer's take on transhumanism is only her reporting exactly what these billionaire profiteers say themselves. Billionaire Martine Rothblatt has published a whole book called From Transgenderism to Transhumanism, outlining the plan he and other billionaires hope for.

Billionaire Peter Thiel who led the boycott against N. Carolina to force businesses to allow men in women's bathrooms is also part of that contingent. He advocates for blood transfusions from the young to the old to extend the lives of billionaires like himself until a way is found to make them immortal - Transhuman? Thiel had a kept (for blood?) young lover who recently "committed suicide" by jumping off a balcony suffering blunt force head trauma. Strange way for a healthy young man to commit suicide.

Yes, absolutely Amy, good point about that book! Which I haven't read, but I know it's been really influential. People don't want to see the value of Bilek's work for some reason, and I think she is brilliant and so important. It isn't that there aren't multiple cultural "reasons" for the cult of transgenderism, and there is more than one helpful way to view the phenomenon--but only a massive financial corporate interest can truly explain how quickly and effectively it has spread.

Merager wasn't "faking" a trans identity. He said he was a trans woman.
Do you have a way of knowing who is "faking" and who has really changed sex?
