Hey, @marjoriepritch, why are you publishing transphobic screeds by @jeff_jacoby in @globeopinion?
If the bathroom bill is repealed, trans women will be forced to use men's bathrooms.
And the first one to get attacked by a violent transphobe?
That's blood on your hands.https://twitter.com/Jeff_Jacoby/status/1059173642863566850 …

2) When that happens, don't give me this "How were we supposed to know that validating transphobia would lead to an attack?" You're creating a world where it's fine to attack trans people if they dare to use "your" bathrooms. When you finally radicalize someone, that's on you.

3.) Do you know why I fight to deplatform Nazis? It's because when they put out ideas like this, it tells violent people that it's okay to hurt certain classes of people.

4.) Seriously, replace the words in
@Jeff_Jacoby's article with literally any other marginalized group to see how bigoted they sound. "Should Jews use the same bathroom as us?"1 reply 4 retweets 3 likesShow this thread -
5.) I'm not making a Nazi metaphor out of nowhere, either. Seriously, I fight the alt-right. I know them well enough to infiltrate and pass as them. Do you know what every faction of them agrees on? Three things-- nationalism, Islamophobia, and transphobia.

6.) Overseas, they call the issue the "transgender debate." At the end of the 19th century, they had another euphemism to politely debate a class of human being's existence. The "Jewish question."

7.) This is what you're doing by publishing
@Jeff_Jacoby,@marjoriepritch. You're making it okay to "debate" the safety of trans people. You're helping to mainstream one of the three pillars of the alt-right.1 reply 2 retweets 8 likesShow this thread
8.) If you can live with that, so be it. But the rest of us won't forget how easily you wrapped your paper in fascist talking points. The first attack on a trans person? I'll be here to remind people that it was you who helped this violence into all of ours lives. <thread>
