The truth is ugly and vile to those fake news types over at Slate:
Slate journalist 'annoyed' he has to correct story that falsely claimed Wi Spa incident was a hoax
Now that it's been revealed that the suspect is a registered sex offender facing charges for allegedly exposing themselves to women and a young girl at the spa, Slate has asked Urquhart to correct his false reporting.

The news comes as charges of indecent exposure are filed against a transgender serial sex offender accused of exposing themselves to a little girl and several women at the Koreatown health club in Los Angeles, California.
Slate journalist Evan Urquhart called the controversial incident a "hoax" in his July 9 article. "That there was likely no trans woman there to begin with only underscores how thin a pretext is needed to prompt these sorts of outbursts from the far right," he wrote. Urquhart claimed that the now-charged sex offender never existed and that the outrage was merely a smokescreen for transphobia.
Known as the viral Wi Spa incident, one outraged woman in June recorded her experience at the Los Angeles business and her subsequent argument with the spa staff. At that time, the management chose to ignore the outspoken woman and left-wing media like Slate said it was a "transphobic hoax." The event led to multiple violent protests around the spa, with the dominating narrative being that she and other customers who have come forward were all perpetuating a hoax.
