One of the more-awful parts of this discourse is that folks like Bruenig and Singal are effectively arguing that Trans-youth should suffer mental illness and abuse from families because, well, they aren't heterosexual.https://twitter.com/albyselkie/status/1374422872827912192 …

If anything, the reality of that abuse means that we who are champions for youth should also support them having greater autonomy over their lives, especially in such abusive situations.

Note, by the way, that transphobia is one of the few respectable bigotries left among Center-Whites. Not that they aren't usually polite White Supremacists and all. But they usually try to hide the worst of their anti-Black racism. Not so with transphobia. https://twitter.com/_moonstorms/status/1374377887852163080 …

Bruenig, by the way, has already flirted with QAnon...https://twitter.com/KEBrightbill/status/1374269434135773185 …

In other words, Bruenig's transphobia isn't really shocking. Neither is her slander of Berlatsky. It's who she is. It's exactly who everyone in the Bruenig/Greenwald/Singal crowd is.https://twitter.com/autogynamelia/status/1374228877346627586 …

Also among their number: Republicans in state legislatures and in Congress. Including a Democrat in Name Only named Joe Manchin.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/23/anti-trans-bills-us-transgender-youth-sports …

'Legislative assault' is the correct term for what is being done against Trans youth by Republican (and even some Democrat) state legislators.https://twitter.com/juliacarriew/status/1374515818008956930 …

More on the respectability and profitability of Transphobia.https://twitter.com/sadydoyle/status/1374402921664712704 …

We must keep in mind that Netflix makes hundreds of millions of dollars off of Dave Chappelle, a great comedian who is also a transphobe. As have concert promoters, Ticketmaster and Viacom CBS. Until Transphobia is no longer profitable, it will be respectable.
