I don't think there will be an uproar at all. Most people have forgotten about it and have moved on... Just not you.

You couldn't be more wrong.

The trans community, along with their friends and supporters, is small, but they are not at all satisfied. They remain very upset.

This small community tore this story apart, and sent Hannan into hiding. You don't think they'll make life miserable for the next outlet that publishes him if he's said nothing on this subject?

If you want to spend your time worrying about what whiners think, you'll be unhappy all your life.

And it's now been two months since the world has been graced with Caleb Hannan's wisdom.

To answer the thread question, probably not.

This is interesting:

PMM: Yeah. So Caleb Hannan became what every journalist fears they'll become. It was one of those things where it was like, "hey, if I follow this line of reporting, it will result in a lot of things thrown back in my face." That piece had to deal with Essay Vanderbilt,and he questioned her to the point where she felt like she was going to be outed--which she was, eventually. And she committed suicide. The time before that, when she tried to commit suicide, which Caleb wrote about, he kind of glossed over the fact that that suicide attempt coincided with a time where she felt like she was going to be outed. So clearly this was a stressor that may have contributed to what happened.

After that story came out, I read it, and I thought, "I wanna talk to this guy, because I want to understand what happened." So I asked him if I could interview him for a piece in the Advocate. He said, "sure, call me," and he gave me his cell phone number. I called him, and we started talking. He was answering questions, but, at the same point, he was asking me questions, because, at that point, he couldn't quite grasp what was happening, or what went wrong, or what he did wrong.

C: Oh, interesting.

PMM: He clearly felt bad about the whole thing. He was just like, "I didn't know that this was wrong." He essentially said he never meant to be disrespectful to her. But, at the same time, the specifics of the conversation—after 15, 20 minutes of talking to him, he asked me if I could leave it all off the record. I said, "OK, can I talk about the conversation?" He said sure. I agreed, because I'm not going to be a jerk.

I don't what to repeat what he did. If I talk to someone, and finish an interview, and they call me back ten minutes later and change their mind on that, I'm gonna [honor that.] Especially for someone who wasn't a public figure, like Essay Vanderbuit wasn't a public figure. Caleb Hannan wasn't a public figure. These are people's lives. There's no story that important. But who knows? Maybe that will hold me back in my career as a journalist. But, at the same time, I don't want to be a jerk. I don't want to contribute to someone being harmed in any way, whether it's emotionally or financially.

C: So he was totally shell-shocked then?

PMM: Oh, yeah, yeah. At that point...we did have a couple of more quick discussions, but his editors may have told him to not talk. And he's been silent.

Caleb: Oh, please don't use what we just talked about.

Parker Marie: OK, Caleb!

It must be hard for an egotist not to get his two scoops of gratification on Twitter every day.
I notice the longform cabal has gone silent on the issue.
Is this like the Cobra Kai's turning their back on Dutch after he gets his ass beat by Daniel-San in the All-Valley Tournament?

Coterie, Octave. Coterie.

Hey, I'm just glad we still have literary societies.
