      Jeet Heer Retweeted Glenn Greenwald

      A few questions for Greenwald: what's the name of twitter account? How many followers does it have? Does it have a political impact? How would you characterize its politics? Does the account foment animosity towards a minority group? What's your relationship with that account?https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1516212493756026880 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      Glenn GreenwaldVerified account @ggreenwald
      Taylor Lorenz is about to "expose" the private citizen behind some anonymous account on Twitter, and when people criticize her for it, she and her friends will claim Taylor is the Real Victim™ and anyone criticizing this type of "journalism" will be guilty of causing her trauma. https://twitter.com/ChristinaPushaw/status/1516207818675785733 …

      As it happens many of these questions are answered in this fine article.https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/04/19/libs-of-tiktok-right-wing-media/ …

      To be clear: Greenwald & co. want a world where there is a social penalty for being trans but not for being transphobic. That's not the current world. So they want a special carve-out of anonymity for trans-shaming in order to create a semblance of that world.

          Glenn is just mad because the article identifies him not as a journalist, his former profession, but as an “online influencer.”

          Also they'd love to silence reporters, in the name of freedom of speech.

          at this point Im not even sure if its transphobia with him so much as a carve out for ANY conservative-harassment. They want conservative "private citizens" to be protected when they harass ppl at the same time they want the state to prevent public critique of conservatism

          or maybe some people just genuinely feel that sexual identity and orientation shouldn't be taught in elementary school, let alone taught in secret

          should kids know that their teacher is in a heterosexual relationship or marriage? because then they know the teacher's sexual identity and orientation
