      1/ There's going to be a 60 Minutes on detransitioners. They asked me to be a talking head, and I said I'd prefer not to be part of this story. They said, Please? I said, you ought to talk to Torrey Peters, or at the least someone AFAB (since that's the focus). They said...

          6/ ... I'm aware that time is passing and that there is a new generation of trans spokespeople who can and ought to be doing this work. And I'm also kind of done explaining myself, or begging for my dignity. I'm hoping the show is good. We will see....

          7/ ...Later, I thought: Jenny Boylan, you might be the first trans woman in history who begged, please please please, don't put me on your TV show. As the old saying does not go, Be careful what you don't ask for. You might not get it.

          If “Why focus on this small group of outliers” is a good argument against a story on detransitioners, it is also a good argument against a story on transgender people themselves, who are also outliers. But actually, it is not a good argument.https://twitter.com/JennyBoylan/status/1373307929256939528 …

          This is a bit like arguing that we shouldn’t report on bad cops because they’re outliers and that we should focus on the struggles and triumphs of all those good cops
