Wondering if I should go through the Zucker and Atlantic articles line by line and show that a reasonable person can in fact conclude that Jesse "Slime Weasel" Singal supports conversion therapy for trans kids. The people in Jude Doyle's mentions right now are relying on a
shallow reading of the article where he never actually says the words "I support conversion therapy" while ignoring all insinuations and outside context.

Do people remember how he got information for the Atlantic article from at least one ROGD-promiting website?
The gee cees were hecking mad he didn't credit them for information he received from them. Anyway, if I did do this it would be because virtue singal threatens legal action against people who speak of him in any terms not reserved for the highest of angels. And it'd be an article
not a tweet thread.

Anyway, the responses to Jude and their followers here resemble those of any right wing mob whether defending Batfleck or attacking Brie Larsen. Just an endless parade of "provide a direct quote please"

Oh this is a good article that's already out there

I think multiple trans women at this point have described how Singal stalked and directed harassment at them.
If there's one kind thing I can say about Andy Ngo it's that I haven't seen him threaten legal action against critics, at least not to nearly the extent that Singal does. Otherwise, both have very similar MOs in very different subjects.
A thread documenting Singal's history of transphobia, concern trolling, and supporting narratives that encourage conversion therapy.

And this is what he's doing right now:

Someone openly defending conversion therapy for trans children in my mentions can you believe it

Also, this:

Someone claiming that this isn't defending conversion therapy

It's pretty invasive how cis people take it upon themselves to lecture trans people on what they believe isn't transphobia, to the point that they'll say "sure, this person wants you and everyone like you to die, but they said they support a few critical rights for trans people"
"Sure, he defends a well known conversion therapist, and argues that trans kids can't really be sure they're really trans, but he never *said* he supported conversion therapy, so you can't say he does."
"Sure she said trans women are a threat to cis women and girls but she also said she'd march in a trans rights parade so how can you say she's transphobic?"

People keep arguing that Singal isn't transphobic. Not only is Singal transphobic but he thinks most progressives agree with him on transphobia. A story in image form. At least two tweets' worth.

Original tweet by a mutual but I don't want creeps to find it.
Conclusion of that story about Jesse insisting that the Womanhood Redefined article in American Conservative is something most progressives agree with. Also, Free Republic's response to that article. Singal agrees with terf rhetoric and said so

Isn't it weird that someone who is so sympathetic toward trans people and not transphobic at all would agree with an article that explicitly sets out to frame trans women as evil unreasonable monsters who demand too much when they want human decency and respect?

It's wild how virtually the entire UK press is just straight up telling lies about trans people. You'd think journalists would have, IDK, *ethics* or something.
Obviously at this point the entire notion of journalistic ethics is a cruel joke, esp in the UK where they constantly publish lies about trans people that if they were aimed at individual people would be considered libelous. The US has all that right wing news too, so the UK
isn't alone in that. Plus that article in Australia written by someone *claiming* to be the mother of a trans teen, but is nothing more but the standard ROGD script. "Anonymous?" I'd be surprised if the author were really a cis woman, to be honest, let alone a cis mother.

So now the MAGAs are trying to create new states.
The complaint linked in the above tweet really shows the problem with American elections. The fact that they say it's unfair that more people voted is just off the walls nonsense. Other countries automatically have everyone of voting age able to vote.
Oh btw suck it MAGAs

I often see trans people and allies respond to "trans people deny biology" with extensive explanations of how trans people don't deny biology. I suggest in the future a different course: Don't bother. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT TRANS PEOPLE THINK ABOUT BIOLOGY. We still deserve
health care, civil rights, access to appropriate accommodations, and respect. There's this insidious vein of GC discourse in which what trans people say about ourselves is being used to discredit us, but the fact is we can say whatever the hell we want about ourselves and we
still deserve all the things. I don't care if anyone says that they're trans because of reincarnation or socialization or neurological differences, every one of them deserves access to all the the things I listed. Please please I beg of you STOP letting GCs set the debate.
