He qualified his remarks in a later tweet with a greater degree of specificity. My eyes still bugged out of my head when I read it. I clearly have a very different way of viewing human beings and their behavior to many of the people in this thread.

Literally everyone in the comments save for you correctly ascertained what his meaning was the first time. Some of us explicitly pointed out that you were being pedantic and over-literal about it even before he clarified for you.

No, I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying. When he clarified it didn't help. I still think it's hyper-vigilant and evidence of splitting.

And as I said in my very first response, is it truly hyper-vigilance when the threat is objectively verifiable? Isn't that just *normal* vigilance?

I don't believe the threat he refers to exists, so no, not to me.

Another misrepresentation. We're talking about your stated belief that all people are fundamentally dishonest and self interested. I don't see human beings that way. I didn't say anything about the status of legal rights for trans people.

Specifically, whenever you see any instance of a white man like Jesse barging into a fraught conversation saying "I have no personal stake in this matter, I'm just a brainy nerd who loves science and facts!", you should immediately ask what the personal stake is

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

Something I realized recently about Jesse is that he's practicing adversarial journalism, which is good when it's pointed at the powers that be, but doesn't really make sense pointed at trans people. But other adversarial journalists (Glenn) phalanx around him nevertheless.

And he never, ever points that adversarial lens at TERFs, even as he claims to be some kind of neutral party opposed to the extremes of both sides
