There's a lot going on in this article. The introduction alone provides everything you need to know about the tone used throughout the text.
Instead of listing everything, I prefer to refer to this piece that provides helpful references on how to cover stories about transgender people while remaining neutral on the subject: https://www.glaad.org/reference/covering-trans-community https://www.glaad.org/reference/covering-trans-community.
You will quickly notice that the text goes out of its way to deliberately break GLAAD's Media Reference Guide and others like it.
