It would be so refreshing to hear discussion about policy ideas that would keep everyone safe rather than lament that gender identity or expression are as equally protected as other rights - and for good reason.
Jon is now speaking. Meghan said nothing new "men are not women" and so on. Did @jonkay just say Meghan Murphy introduced him to trans-TERF issues?
If I got that wrong, please clarify Jon.
Fascinatingly would explains much.

Kay: "facebook is the church and Twitter is the inquisition."
Maybe he has something there.

Old white guy thinks old white guys in journalism are terrified of 25 year old activists who work under them.
Suggests activists seized control of media, congratulates them for it.

He's not that old.
The old white guy is still talking.
Oh well, so far he's the least transphobic one so far so it's not all bad. Maybe all that gaming's healthy after all.

Dives into her following of the Yaniv case.

Questions...

Slatz: Real life is happening out there. Social media is an echo chamber and we bring it into real life and we get things that are happening out there.
