so, in case it wasn't clear, it's really bad that Jesse Singal thinks it's his job to rush around the internet policing parents of trans people when they talk about supporting their kids.1

and doing it in a way that brings them to the attention of his enormous audience of TERFs, right wing shitheads, and transphobes. so you can know that if you're a parent of a trans child, and you say you support them, Jesse will direct awful people to yell at you.

this puts up additional barriers to people being supportive of trans youth in public.

re the Bruenig discussion it got a bit lost that she slandered me because I was talking about being supportive of my trans child, *and Jesse used that as an opportunity to call for people to denounce me.*

Bruenig didn't know I was talking about trans issues, but Jesse absolutely did. That's why he QT'd me and encouraged people to say bad things about me.

and again, he consistently does this when parents talk about being supportive of trans children. he tries to shut them up.

this is one among many reasons why people say he's a bad actor and that he advances transphobia with is work and public presence.

What is the best example of him trying to delegitimize supportive parents?
-
he just had a thread about another Jesse who talked about supporting his daughter's transition, I guess. The thing where he encouraged people to pile on me for talking about supporting young people seems like it qualifies!
