He won't do it

That's fine, it was more interesting to hear how bad it was from an interview perspective. Way to ensure you will never get a repeat interview Jesse, pretty sure plenty of other people might be more inclined to deny invitations after that too!

Amazing that you can say trans-affirming parents are abusing their kids, then act shocked, wounded and offended that an actual trans-affirming parent might have negative feelings about you having said so

It's kind of shocking tbh that TERFs really think Thorn was "uncivil" here (he was *absurdly* civil) I guess the idea is you think all trans allies must secretly know they're talking bollocks and should have the decency to act ashamed of this when challenged by sensible people?

I never said he was civil. I wasn't shocked. None of what you are replying to me here applies to me. But keep making up your own mind about what people think without actually listening to them hey.

"uncivil" that should have said "uncivil" obvs. Him losing the interview at the end had nothing to do with him being uncivil and everything to do with him holding on too long to a topic his guest had responded to and made clear he didn't want to talk about. OK? good.

Persisting on topics of public interest even when your interviewee doesn't want to talk about them?Generally considered good journalism. An interviewer who's "tough", "doesn't pull punches", "doesn't let things slide", &c is valued.

I wouldn't say a deleted 3 year old tweet was in the public interest.

It wasn't just the one tweet, it was a whole rant about being "gender critical", and he hasn't actually remained silent in the years since then (he came out of the woodwork to defend JKR, for instance)

And in the original rant he was very explicit he'd held these beliefs for a long time and just didn't talk about them "as much as I should" Thorn has every right to have just as emotional a reaction to this as Webb originally had to "kids being transed"

I never said Jesse didn't have the right to be as emotional, personal, or pushy on this topic as he wanted to be. And Robert has the right to not talk about it.
