      So I woke up to see that I'm about 20 followers shy of 60K? What happened?😂

      To clarify, I seem to have gained a lot of followers over the last week.

      likely due to Singal writing about you & SBM the past few weeks. his followers either want to mock/troll you, or they're starting to realize his 'contrarian' grift and think you might be better source of science info

      Is it due to that, though? You could be correct, but I'm not sure it is, and, if it is, this is a bump in followers I would rather not have had...

      it seems likely since he's been writing abt you lately, but it's just a guess. the anti-trans mvmnt is growing, but he, in particular, is getting lots of mileage from being 'contrarian' on this topic right now

      We're aware he's been writing about @sciencebasedmed. For every error that we've had to correct (and that does not detract from SBM scientific arguments), he seems to find 3 or 4 others that appear not to be "errors"but differences in interpretation of the scientific literature.

      imo i think he tries too hard because a) he has some weird obsession with this topic, and b) there is so much value placed on being contrarian (since early 19th century alt med, but esp true since 2020) and c) money to be made by this current trend. the grift is appealing to many

      Before this whole kerfuffle, I didn't remember ever having heard of him, although a search of my blogs did reveal that I had once positively mentioned one of his pieces about the antivaccine movement. And, yes, his behavior on this topic has struck me as obsessive.
