Jesse even admitted it, in one of those long in the weeds threads arguing about the philosophical basis of trans identity "If you're trying to argue everyone has a gender identity in the way you mean then that affects me too!" Yeah no shit

Trans people make cis people anxious, even cis people who refuse to admit they have any transphobic animus That is in fact, the definition of the constructed state of *cisness*, the felt need to protect one's gender identity as obvious, unquestionable "biological reality"

More often than not, the person saying "I just love science and facts" _thinks_ they're being honest, but have done exactly 0 work to interrogate their own motivations Which IMO is just as dishonest as outright lying Honesty and transparency are serious work

I've always liked this particular definition of 'bullshit' as opposed to 'lying' per se 'Lying' implies that you know the truth and are attempting to cover it up To 'bullshit' is to have no regard for what the truth is, and/or whether what you're saying is true or not
