Because Harvard Law School clinical instructor Alejandra Caraballo @Esqueer_ can't defend the falsehoods she utters when I fact check them, she instead resorts to ad hominem attacks. Her go-to smears of me are that I am creepy, obsessive and a pervert. These are not the claims of a serious person.

The reason I fact check Harvard Law School clinical instructor and activist Alejandra Caraballo is because she has a wide platform and the falsehoods she tells about pediatric gender medicine have an impact. She was centrally responsible for spreading the false claim that the Cass Review discarded all non-randomized controlled trials. Hilary Cass later denounced the misinformation that she and Mallory Moore spread and said it was harming children.

Reporters are by their nature dogged. Harvard Law School clinical instructor and activist Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer_ is a public figure in the area I cover for my work. Her public statements are fair game for fact checking, and I will continue to correct her false claims.

Here Harvard Law School clinical instructor and activist Alejandra Caraballo @Esqueer_ complains that I use an alt account to screenshot her tweets in a tweet thread in which she had used her alt account to screenshot my tweets. She makes reference to the fact checking of the false claims that Erin Reed and Ari Drennen made in the spring.

And she repeats the false claim that the reason why I fact check the falsehoods she utters is because I have a sexual fixation on her. I can assure you this is false.

I presume that one of the reasons Alejandra Caraballo @Esqueer_ tries every trick in her book to scare me off, as she has unsuccessfully for two years, is because she now knows that she cannot make false claims about pediatric gender medicine on X without my correcting her.

In April, Alejandra Caraballo, Erin Reed and Ari Drennen all announced one day that I was "obsessive" and "creepy" and counted the number of times I mentioned Caraballo on X. It was a lot. Because the Cass Review came out April 9, and I soon made a pledge to myself to fact check every single false claim Caraballo @Esqueer_ made about the review. There was a flood of material. To hear Caraballo tell it, I am the one in this equation with something to answer for.
