@v_urq @kpowell3000 "good journalism" reflects the reality of trans lives when discussing them

@emily_esque @kpowell3000 Objective reality- gets back to my earlier comment. We know trans men are men b/c of words and feelings.

@emily_esque @kpowell3000 That's the latest, most up to date understanding of why trans men are men or vice versa for women.

@emily_esque @kpowell3000 To go beyond that is advocacy. Advocacy I believe in but don't expect all journalists to have to engage in.

@v_urq It's not fucking advocacy to say trans women are women and trans men are men. @emilybazelon couldn't bring herself to do that.

@emily_esque @emilybazelon Sure, I guess if you keep repeating it it makes it true.

So you really think saying "trans women are women" is advocacy journalists shouldn't engage in? @v_urq

@emily_esque I think journalists should be free to use the language in the ways they think are the most accurate...
