      Ask me if I particularly care whether anti-trans bigots spewing bad science and conspiracy theories about “influencers” preying on trans trends and doctors eager to profit by “pumping children full of hormones” (all because of “gender ideology”) consider me a “trusted source.”🙄https://twitter.com/Marxoid1/status/1419975809692020738 …

      1/2 No, your brand has already been fatally undermined by your terrible handling of criticism of trans ideological influence on clinical practice. This is a shame - it looks like you do some good work in other areas (e.g. anti-vaxxer myths), but you're not now a trusted source...

      Well if you think all your critics are bigots why would you care? However, don't you think it's somewhat unusual that many of your critics are scholars, human rights campaigners and people who otherwise have been stalwarts of anti-bigotry?

      Not *all* of them, but the ones who regularly Tweet memes like this certainly strike me as such.https://twitter.com/Marxoid1/status/1418950085648568325?s=20 …

      Seems to me like Orwell's famous slogan needs an update. "Trans women are women" requires a similar level of doublethink. pic.twitter.com/E07XTVbDtx

      Also, everyone has their blind spots, as I've discovered. Just because you're not a bigot about one group doesn't mean you can't be one about another.

      This is true, but there is very often significant overlap and you're not seeing this overlap with the "gender critical" activists you refer to. People like @janeclarejones @Docstockk @ALLIANCELGB are representative of gender critical outlook. @MailOnline are not.

      Ah, the "no true Scotsman" fallacy. Funny how many times I've seen that coming from GC folks over the last six weeks: "Oh, no. I'm not like *those* awful people." Yet they repeat slicker, less obviously bigoted versions of the same rhetoric.

          1/2 The journalists of @MailOnline are not considered "gender critical" because the phrase usually refers to the theoretical outlook of gender critical feminism, which includes multiple other non-trans related issues. Incidentally, as a socialist and...
