I respect Jesse Thorn for wanting not to turn the interview into a big long fight but people need to understand Webb was basically lying He talks like he just made a single tweet about Mermaids being a badly run org No he went on a long rant about the "transing children" agenda https://twitter.com/BernieTranders/status/1382421528877367304 …

His whole aw shucks "I wasn't invested in this issue, I just RTed a random article" act is pure mendacity That's the opposite of what he said back then - that he'd looked into this issue with the help of great thinkers like Janice Turner and Rebecca Reilly-Cooper

And he considered himself more qualified to talk about this than all the kneejerk liberal Mermaids defenders And he was proud to consider himself an ally of "gender-critical feminism" Etc, etc It was the Full TERF Package

It is very clear from the article by Janice Turner he chose to retweet and the comments he made that his problem was NOT some specific procedural thing about "the way Mermaids is run" but the *core mission of Mermaids*, the article straight up said early transition is child abuse
