      oh totally. Straight peeps can be gay as hell ;). The words we use are often convenient, context-sensitive, stigmatized, etc.

      .@litui My (unpopular!) view is still that focusing on gender dysphoria is the model that doesn't take anyone's story away from them.

      I know your work tries to serve science, but given credit for pragmatism see why being "disproven" in popular press undermines?

      sorry, I tried too hard to fit everything in one tweet. Dropped too many important connectors. Retry:

      but we still have a need for pragmatic activism that adjusts its message to best serve trans lives. Your platform is larger ...

      which is not to take a hardline stance against what you do, but the rhetoric directed your way is often self-aware, necessary.

      sure, but as a journo it is not my job to agree with a given line of activism, even if (especially if?) I agree w/underlying goals

      I'm sure you care about lives of trans kids as we do, but we definitely know our rhetorical situations better than you do...

      sure. But there's a value to determining the truth of the matter, and born this way for gender ID has consequence for everyone

          I respect that to some extent, but I think arriving at an objective truth will always fall behind keeping peers alive.

          and I know that's a false set of opposites if painted as such. I'm sure we both care about trans lives, but ...

          is it useful for "born this way" to also include people "born with" fluid identities?

          I think so, if that's the tree one's barking up. Being incremental doesn't serve the lowest common denominator.
