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)

What would you like to have seen him say Arthur?

The tweet that Jesse was asking about was the deleted tweet from 2018. Perhaps Jesse could have done better research and had something more relevant to ask? But, a deleted tweet from 2018 is not in the public interest so much that it can't be let go with the first response.

Jesse was trying to be nice and give Robert the opportunity to frame his actions in his own words and Robert responded with obvious craven denial ("I don't even remember what was in that article") and Jesse, who is indeed not Isaac Chotiner, let it go

Which is fine, because everyone who heard it can hear what a mendacious prick Webb came off as
