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?
Let me clarify this
Isn't it strange he agrees with someone deploying the same arguments about trans women as far right hate groups, English journalists, and failed comedy writers if he's not transphobic?

Transphobes and transmisogynists constantly insist that they're not transphobic or transmisogynist, that they have "reasonable concerns," and that trans people are just overly sensitive and trying to cancel them. This isn't new, it's the constant way of things.
As you can see, Jesse's stans definitely want the evidence and aren't just asking so they can say there isn't any 🙃

Definitely a good faith demand for evidence and not simply requests for other avenues through which to harass us

Me: Here's Jesse Singal explicitly agreeing with people who want to ban trans women from public life (restrooms, locker rooms, existing as women) and make it impossible to medically and legally transition.
This yoyo: "That's not transphobic."

Okay so on our side we have very near unanimous agreement within the trans community that Singal is transphobic. We have agreement from people outside the trans the community (Noah Berlatsky and Nicole Cliffe to name two who are at least somewhat known) that he's transphobic.
But a bunch of randos here are only hanging out in our mentions because Singal was sad enough to lie about Jude Ellison and think their singular, atomized skepticism is somehow more convincing than, well, as I said above
I imagine these people in old age, their great grandkids coming to them with these tweets, asking "why did you defend scum of the Earth Jesse Singal to people who neither knew you nor cared that you existed?"

Transphobic liars in my mentions? Likelier than you think

Possibly one of the most ridiculous things this thread brought about was the sheer number of Singal stans who launch themselves into the replies to defend Singal from the charge of "transphobe" but do not say a single word about the fact Jesse insisted someone else secretly
agreed with him, even after learning that someone else called him a clown
Not a single one of them addressed this obvious bad faith nonsense
