      Julia Serano Retweeted Jennifer Finney Boylan  🐕

      ...before she did so, her mentions were the occasional (every 10-15 minute or so) trans person asking why she signed it. some were admittedly angry. about an hour ago, she tweeted an apology, saying she didn't know who else was signing it:https://twitter.com/JennyBoylan/status/1280646004136697863 …

      I did not know who else had signed that letter. I thought I was endorsing a well meaning, if vague, message against internet shaming. I did know Chomsky, Steinem, and Atwood were in, and I thought, good company. The consequences are mine to bear. I am so sorry.

      ...can we please maintain a sense of perspective here? if you belong to a dominant/majority group & some marginalized/minority is complaining about you 1) check your own shit, 2) keep in mind that THEIR ANGER IS THE RESULT OF YOUR GROUP SHITTING ON THEM. BE ANGRY AT *YOUR* GROUP!

      & there it is: Jesse Singal publicly shamed @/jennyboylan for apologizing for signing the letter, which resulted in his followers piling-on her account (see above thread), which was supposedly the very thing the #harpersletter was intended to condemn. bravo everyone, well played!pic.twitter.com/7W9OinFuds

          I wasn't able to speak openly about who I was for the first 27 years of my life. because of transphobic "free speech". here's my response to "A Letter on Justice and Open Debate": https://medium.com/@juliaserano/refusing-to-tolerate-intolerance-f24c1bff513f …

          ...and now Jesse Singal is going after @emilyvdw for her engaging in open debate about the #harpersletter. it's almost as if he doesn't really like "open debate". or trans women. or more specifically, trans women who engage in open debate...https://twitter.com/emilyvdw/status/1280691694216687616 …

          I want to state, again, that I want my colleague to keep his job. I like him personally and appreciate his perspective even when I disagree. My perspective is that he is not shielded from the free speech he champions. Also, Jesse Singal is an asshole. pic.twitter.com/X2IjKNKjPa

          in the meantime, the Jesse-Singal-provoked hate parade in @/jennyboylan's mentions continues, here are some screen shots. it's entirely filled with ppl berating & demeaning her for apologizing. it's disgusting. is this what you meant by "open debate" @Harpers? #harpersletterpic.twitter.com/FXmEUGfdps

          ...so weird that there is no "leftist mob" in @/jennyboylan's mentions. just a far-right mob. perhaps this isn't a "both sides" issue after all? maybe the "open debate" trope is just a ruse to promote conservative & outright bigoted speech? just spitballing here...

          Clearly what it was actually intended to do was support silencing backlash for saying and doing awful things

          Wait, so Singal is shaming Boylan for not conforming to his nonconformity?

          I think I'm probably measurably happier since I blocked that sleazy weapon. This is a needed reminder that, to everyone's detriment, he continues to exist.

          we mutually block each other, which is fine by me. I'm normally blissfully unaware of his doings. only sought out & posted this screen shot when someone told me he was the one responsible for the pile-on on Jenny's account that I had already described.
