Alright everyone, I've taken a couple days to cool down, and I want to apologize for some of the things I said in the immediate aftermath of the Singal affair.

Even though many of the things I said are true, the circumstances in which I said them undermine any legitimate point. Obviously the point of the thread was to vilify and dismiss all of my critics, which was a pretty shitty thing to do.

But it's by no means the case that all or even most of my critics were calling me a traitor or a TERF or any of that shit. Most people had much more measured complaints, and for me to paint them all as a bunch of hysterics was bad and wrong.

I personally have gotten along very well with @jessesingal. But I fully acknowledge that he's been kind of an asshole to a lot of trans people. And he has a tendency to frame all criticism as a "look how crazy these trans activists are" type narrative.

Which is, in effect, what I myself did when I was criticized for working with him. And that sucks. Because this really isn't a "trans activists are crazy" problem. It's a "some people on Twitter are assholes" problem. And regrettably I'm just another one of those assholes.
