Just like this endless, stupid argument that "social contagion" must only be understood to have the most neutral meaning an academic could possibly use for it and not the meaning Jesse's thousands of TERF followers obviously use it for

Fine, Jesse has never "stalked" anybody, he's just behaved obsessively toward them on the Internet in a way that made them feel uncomfortable and violated Are you satisfied? Do I need to pay a fine to the Word Police or can I get off with a warning?

This is a perennial theme from concern trolls on this website People refuse to recognize that abusive behavior is a spectrum, with criminally liable behavior just on the most extreme end of it It's black-and-white, everything is either Totally OK or Not OK

And then *they* act like *they're* the ones taking the issue more seriously than you for this kind of carping Like how the time Amber Frost was snottily chiding people for "making light of rape" by using the adjective "rapey" to describe creepy/unsettling behavior

"Rape is a very serious violent physical attack on someone and you're reducing it to just using words in tweets!", etc Disingenuous bullshit complaints -- people word-policing, ironically, to try to stop other people word-policing ("How can mere WORDS be like RAPE")

Anyway I remember the time Jesse specifically flipped out on me over this, specifically *because* I used language to indicate he wasn't literally a criminal ("He lowkey stalks every trans woman he comes in contact with")

Like he went on this ridiculous rant "Lowkey?! LOWKEY?! HOW DO YOU LOW-KEY STALK SOMEONE BREAKING INTO SOMEONE'S HOME, FOLLOWING THEM IN YOUR CAR, LEAVING THREATENING NOTES IN THEIR MAILBOX HOW CAN THESE ACTIONS BE LOW-KEY?!"

I mean yeah Jesse those aren't lowkey stalking, those are highkey stalking Lowkey stalking is the stuff you can do without leaving your office chair at home, that isn't in any sense illegal, but, you know, still sucks Look it up on Urban Dictionary, sheesh

Nine tweets in a row to admit that you falsely accused someone of stalking. I said he wasn't a stalker. You said "this is a lie, Katelyn Burns said he stalked her." I said no she didn't, and instead of a simple "You're right, I said an untrue, horrible thing", we get a meltdown.

It's pretty easy to try and skirt the issues he's pointing out and just stick to "he's not a stalker". This is what I've seen with his most ardent defenders: push back on things like this that are untrue on a technical, literal level, and never address what he actually does.

Yeah like the endless circuitous debate over the cromulency of the term "social contagion" he used and not the broader picture of what he was saying when he used it (which absolutely was "Hey maybe you should keep your kid from having trans friends who will turn them trans")

Exactly. I also think "stalking" and other accusations he can react poorly too and his defenders can refute on the technical literal level is a distraction. Even if he won't engage honestly on his work, keeping it about his work and inability to address the issues is better.

I think any argument about words is a waste of time but I mean I'm not going to just let what he did to Katelyn or to anyone else go Julia Serano has been a trans activist since I was in diapers and she says tangling with Jesse is one of the worst experiences she's ever had
