    Jeet Heer Retweeted Laurie Penny

    Helen Joyce, the person quoted here, received a positive review for her recent book in the New York Times. "An intelligent, thorough rejoinder to an idea that has swept across much of the liberal world seemingly overnight," -- Jess Signal.https://twitter.com/PennyRed/status/1532681679592210433 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Laurie PennyVerified account @PennyRed
    In this shocking clip, two prominent British anti-trans campaigners openly discuss their goal of ‘reducing or keeping down the number of people who transition’ because ‘every one of those people is a huge problem to a sane world…the fewer of those people there are, the better.’ https://twitter.com/joss_prior/status/1532511819583062025 …

        I remember not too long ago, The Bulwark said Singal was “nobody’s idea of a conservative” and then it really hit home with me how little most people pay attention to trans issues

        Cathy Young, another charmer. And the article is basically "we all can find common cause by exterminating trans people" (which is her brand). But that's what makes Singal so awful: he cultivates this "just asking questions" so nobody will really think about what he's saying.

        This is the Times inviting one member of a particular "in" group to give their supposedly critical assessment of another member of the exact same "in" group. It's useless. And the particular "different idea" here is not that far from "exterminate the brutes".

        The editors' selection of Jesse Signal to review the book of a prominent anti-trans author tells you everything you need to know. But of course this is typical for the Times; as I recall there was a ~recent controversy with their choice of a Kissinger apologist as book reviewer.
