It's time to play the argue-with-Jesse-Singal-from-behind-a-block game. I think what I told Katherine was "I wasn't aware of the history of the Zucker clinic," which is true. Jesse's article was the first I'd heard of it.pic.twitter.com/YtPlxZ03eU

This is literally how he operates with trans women, no matter how calm, how measured, how angry, how hyperbolic. He blocks, and in some cases (those he deems famous enough) he'll respond from behind the block. He did the same thing to Julia Serano recently because Noah Berlatsky
put up a resource page about him, which included Julia's article about his inappropriate linking to her dating article. He also responds to allies similarly, as he did to Noah. Singal thinks he knows trans better than trans people, and he'll never listen to us.
It speaks to his sense of superiority on trans issues that he’d post your private correspondence implying a contradiction between that and the Verge bit. It’s a dishonest distraction, but seems to be typical of him in general.
He’s painting you as opportunistic for the crime of complimenting him without a comprehensive knowledge of his entire body of work on trans issues. It’s not like you wrote “OMG I have all your articles taped to my wall and I keep a bubblegum shrine of you in my closet”pic.twitter.com/Hvd7WO7vGE
If it helps at all, remember that in 20 years your wikipedia article will be talking about your contributions to trans advocacy and discourse and Singal's will note him as a prominent transphobe. You are five times the writer and have ten times his integrity.
This is his pattern. I can't give receipts openly but DM me and I can connect you
You are not. YOU are not doing this, HE is by trying to cover himself now when there's no misunderstanding his standing in this. You are just keeping the facts straight for everyone
hey, you don't need to give him the time of day. fuck him. i think you've explained yourself pretty clearly. and if people still want to accuse you of being an apologist, fuck them too. they're obviously not listening to you. sit back and prosper & let them & Singal complain.
He blocked me too and l've literally never had an interaction with him. He's just really ~weird in that way that men (chasers) are that's hard to articulate. What a creep.
Yeah, you are in no way behaving in a hyperbolic manner. You’re addressing the issues point-by-point with nuance and intelligence. So weird that this would get a block instead of a discussion from him.
