1/I love this quote so much I want to frame it. As a minority, it can be f*cking exhausting and time consuming to explain stuff to well-intentioned, moderate mostly white mostly men on social media.https://twitter.com/jinxgoh/status/1085280891826364416 …

2/take poor
@jinxgoh here. He’s making what should be an uncontroversial claim- that the weight of the evidence suggests the most reasonable inference is that Jesse singal is transphobic. His writing is harmful and it’s disappointing he gets a pass.1 reply 1 retweet 19 likesShow this thread -
3/But ‘reasonable’ isn’t good enough for jesse’s defenders. Beyond doubt is required. Big errors and misrepresentations in his published pieces don’t matter b/c he sounds smart and reasonable (to some) on a podcast. Past mistakes don’t matter b/c new piece shows more nuance, etc.

4/In this space, the worst crime is to falsely accuse, and so the well-intentioned moderate male asks ‘where’s the evidence’? Seems innocuous. But that’s only b/c they don’t realize how much of this shit minorities have to deal w/. Educating colleagues shouldn’t be a second job!

Nor should Jin have to litigate a court case. And so, not to pick too hard on my
@fourbeerspod friends, but when I hear, ‘what’s the evidence’, there’s a small part of me that yells ‘do the f*cking research yourself you’re a goddamn professor! Try harder before asking Jin!’2 replies 3 retweets 65 likesShow this thread -

Nah it’s mostly
@datingdecisions for patiently replying everyone. I was just pretending to have meetings (but was actually getting coffee with friends). And my replies are based on what@djnavarro and others have tried to say aloud. Good to have others to amplify so thanks Tage1 reply 0 retweets 10 likes -
"I was just pretending to have meetings (but was actually getting coffee with friends)." That's what I do but I call them meetings in earnest.
Because:
1) I have no friends outside work anyway pretty much.
2) I consider lab meetings "a gathering of my friends".2 replies 0 retweets 8 likes
ANYWAY! Thank you to all of you. #bropenscience needs to be called out from all angles.
