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

You might have missed his stuff about Glinner this week.

What, you mean when he said he had problems with the interpersonal cruelty of Glinner's "approach" but that the man has nonetheless "broken important stories"? Yeah whatever

One obvious and kind of genuinely pitiful thing about Glinner is it's always been relatively easy to throw him under the bus because he's such an OBVIOUS creep and his being a straight man upsets the TERF persecution narrative

So Jesse isn't doing anything that special here "I think he's right about most things but he's an arse" is a cheap tactic to look moderate, it's why Glinner got kicked off of Spinster (along with people thinking it was an "XX-only" space before they found out a dude ran out)

The more relevant issue is that Jesse rubs elbows with people who are truly awful - people who are just as vicious as Glinner but with a modicum more tactical savvy - journalists like Sarah Ditum and academics like Jane Clare Jones

And he's openly defended these people using the TERF party line "The intensity with which people go after Sarah personally can only be called misogyny", etc

I mean, two days ago on his podcast he basically said that sure, Glinner is a creep, but Lavery is equally bad.
