Singal says in the article that detransitioners and trans people don't need to be at odds, which is true! but interviewing detransitioned people who are actively involved in transphobic communities does not suggest he actually believes that.

this is one of the detransitioned women Singal interviewed. She describes trans women as perpetrators of male violence, and she is a fan of Janice Raymond, whose hatred of trans people is extreme and ugly. https://healthliberationnow.com/2021/04/03/telling-the-whole-story-a-closer-look-at-the-detrans-women-in-when-children-say-theyre-transgender/ …pic.twitter.com/B8IYx8YBvH

the atlantic publishes a lot of dodgy shit, but I think there's a case that this is the most shoddy and duplicitous cover story they've ever done.

I know that Singal is a bad faith actor and as smart as a bagful of hammers, but I am still kind of taken aback.

the Atlantic should repudiate that article.

Julia also links to this article by me about Jesse's use of moral panics which I had forgotten I'd written.https://www.splicetoday.com/writing/the-trans-people-are-coming-lock-up-your-children …

I think this is an important point. the child he interviews in the article sure sounds like she's trying to tell him she's nonbinary. but he doesn't follow up on it because it doesn't fit his narrative.pic.twitter.com/e4nsoaHplG
