I’ve never trashed Abigail Shrier or her book (although I have defended her against deplatforming attempts) but this whole saga has been a fantastic example of horseshoe theory.
On that note, I’m going on hike on a beautiful spring day in an area with no phone service, thank god. If you have further complaints, take them up with my intern.
Update: You can see Seattle from the main viewpoint but we all have our flaws.
When I was a kid I was taught that North Carolina was special because we had both mountains and ocean. They’re 300 miles apart.

People like Jude Doyle and Nicole Cliffe and every one else who has tried to smear Jesse will ultimately lose because he isn’t actually guilty of what they’ve accused him of and because he doesn’t need institutions to succeed. But it still has an impact.
Jesse’s first book is coming out next month. It’s not on trans issues at all, but I highly doubt major media outlets will touch it, unless it’s to smear him further. He’s not getting invited on Fresh Air any time soon, and that’s really a shame.
Imagine working on a project for 4 years and the reviews and interviews that sell books won’t be coming because people like Jude Doyle and Nicole Cliffe said you were a stalker. They’re liars, but people believe it anyway and that makes Jesse damaged goods to much of the press.

We've got a great conversation coming out soon between Jesse and a trans clinician who works with kids. She's so thoughtful and sensible and it's a really good reminder of how the culture wars have distorted this issue.
I especially recommend this one for our more gender-critical listeners. Will be interested to hear your thoughts.
@sullydish has also had a couple of really interesting conversations with trans women lately. Even when they disagree, it's in good faith.

He's a skunk.
I don't think people realize how rapey some species are.
Have you ever heard raccoon sex? Or cat sex? It's terrifying.

I haven’t listened to the big Clubhouse struggle session and probably won’t until someone cuts it from 5 hours to 5 minutes but I’ve been on Clubhouse since July and let’s just say this is not surprising.
I don’t know how many rooms I’ve been in where white people are either asked to leave or kicked off the stage for their skin color. Whether or not this is racism depends on your definition but it’s definitely prejudice and it’s rampant on CH.
I don’t, btw, think CH should crack down on this. I think it’s good to know what people really think.

This is truly shocking, even for @Slate defector.com/mike-pesca-sla…
Suspended from JOURNALISM for making a valid argument. Unbelievable.
@pescami is a fantastic reporter, commentator, and interviewer and was the only person at Slate still worth listening to.

Interesting perspective but this guy seems to think his way of viewing the world should be imposed on his patients whether or not they want it. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/0…
I’m guessing the vast majority of this country would respond to the pronoun question with confusion if not offense. But this doctor seems to think nearly everyone should be made uncomfortable to accommodate a tiny percentage of the population. How is this a good plan?
Here’s what I’d do... if you must play the pronoun game, put it on the intake form with a giant OPTIONAL tag. Otherwise, just go with biological sex. You’ll probably be correct.
