As someone who tries to do rationality and balance in my own reporting, this really gets at a big part of how I've reacted to Singal. Since the choice I've got is between defending my community's vs defending to someone who repeatedly undermines us, I pick the former. https://twitter.com/ContraPoints/status/1034163418637451266 …
But Singal has made it clear that he thinks that just by being cis he has access to a degree of objectivity and rightness which tras people, even trans journalists, could never have. And that isn't true, or fair, or compassionate.

Singal has as many biases as any trans person, and they're the particular biases of someone who holds themselves outside and above the community he reports on, with the condescending view that he alone knows what's best.
