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

Jeez, did he seriously say that second part? I was just about to be like, "Of course he hates Glinner. Everyone hates Glinner. Even Mumsnet seems to hate Glinner half the time. It's easy to hate Glinner." Buf apparently he can't even manage that far.

Oh yeah. Repeatedly, when criticizing Glinner, Jesse made a point making it about tone and not content. His only real objection was to saying the quiet part so loud

Jesse thinks Glinner is right about most things but is just too much of a jerk about it, and repackages the same attacks and criticisms on trans activists in a more reasonable sounding tone This may mean he's a bad ally to Glinner as a person but he's a great one politically
