I have asked Jesse to delete his tweet: https://twitter.com/irisvanrooij/status/1099214241746300930?s=21 … Please join me in giving a clear and strong message that we will not tolerate such bullying and that we support trans academics in our community. Show that we care for their basic rights and safety.

Replying to @djnavarro @IrisVanRooij
I am not indifferent. I warmly support trans persons in general and you in particular. But I know nothing about Jesse Singal. I cannot express an opinion w/o familiarizing myself w his stuff. I have limited resources & am reluctant to invest time into reading Signal.

Wait — you can't express an opinion against the dog-piling of Danielle?

Replying to @o_guest @dstephenlindsay and
I am confused by
@dstephenlindsay statement too. With all due respect, the tweet clearly targeted a respected member of the community and it is blatantly abusive, with an obvious intent to harm. I don't see how or why knowledge about its author could alter this fact.1 reply 2 retweets 7 likes -
If this is not a censurable action,
#OpenScience, what it is?1 reply 2 retweets 6 likes
Realistically speaking, what did/could Danielle do (GIVEN WE KNOW HER!) that means it's OK to dog-pile her? The answer is nothing and so you can see why it's a bit shocking to hear somebody say they just don't have an opinion.
