      Jesse Singal cracks the case wide open: Abigail Shrier never used the phrase "woke gender ideology"* ** *She does, however, use the nonsense phrase "gender ideology" 31 times without bothering to explain wtf it is. **Also this was corrected before publication.pic.twitter.com/pmwXmD3Brr

      What a weird gotcha move. Like so what if she didn't use that phrase. It's classic goalpost moving and saying 'trust the science' despite not citing any scientific evidence Research narcissism - I know the science, everyone else doesn't, they don't really read the data

      Right, I think that's the sort of thing a diligent editor should catch, but Singal just seems to be deliberately trying to rack up a tally of minor errors to distract from the huge problems with Shrier's book.

      Indeed. He's weaponizing pedantry to an extent that I've never seen before, but even by antivaxxers.

          And it really seems to have the same effect: there's a number of even more contestable claims - like his denial that Shrier characterizes trans people writ large as mentally ill - that get buried under the torrent of hairsplitting.

          I think he's taking the denialist technique of misusing falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus to a ridiculous extreme.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/11/20/falsus-in-uno-falsus-in-omnibus-dichotomous/ …

          if you had run corrections on Dr. Hall's review, rather than pull it entirely, how many of the corrections would have been viewed as "pedantry"? luckily you spared yourself the necessity of spelling out exactly what was wrong with it

          1/ Maybe a skeptic would ask knowledgeable endocrine and psychology experts to review rather than activists. Your actions repeatedly appear to bolster only your preconceived beliefs with no actual attempt at objectivity. Some comments I've seen by Shrier suggest she's more

          2/ conservative than me. But the concern should be on what is best for children and adolescents, rather than affirming beliefs of an oppressed group. She seems to meet this standard far better than you do.
