The faux-civility of the "trans debate" that TERFs prize so much when decrying incivility of "TRAs" is just an obnoxious charade There are only two choices Webb has if he wants to be honest -- repudiate his views or tell a trans-affirming parent to his face he's abusing his kidhttps://twitter.com/TheKafkaDude/status/1382404316963700736 …

Rather than having the integrity to say one or the other of these, he hems and haws and acts like a coward and says nothing And the TERFs coming to his defense, who clearly believe the latter and think Jesse is an evil groomer etc., praise him for this mendacity

It's like Andrew Sullivan's ridiculous sense of betrayal that Ta-Nehisi Coates "threw him under the bus" for believing racist shit about "race and IQ" "But I didn't mean YOU, man! I think YOU'RE smart! Why do you have to take a general statement about Black people PERSONALLY?"
