Whether an opinion is "harmful" (whatever that means) is neither here nor there - he emphatically supported trans rights in his piece. The idea that trans women/ men are not identical to natal women/ men should not be controversial and if it is then everyone has lost their minds

Exactly, it’s madness that publications and organisations who claim to support the whole community LGBT+ but are shutting down the L voices should their opinion not be in line with their own. That’s not balanced reporting or support

I'm an "L" who doesn't feel like I'm being erased or forced to have sex with anyone simply because trans people exist and ask for respect

well as long as you don't feel that that, that's great should we all feel that way?

Refusing to publish a writer who is happy to dehumanize a an entire demographic minority isn’t censorship. Refusing to cater to discrimination isn’t censorship. It’s as simple as that.

Where did I dehumanise trans people?

Skylar, Bendix (who’s been fired from more than one lesbian magazine) is just on a power trip (again). “You’ll never work in this town again”—I mean,how cliché?! Who’s even heard of ‘Into’? Write for reputable balanced publications—You’d fit right in w/NewYorkTimes or NewYorker.

Wow, that’s high praise indeed! Thank you, Julia

I mean it is if they're one of your (now erstwhile) employees, no?

Just to be clear, I was never an employee of INTO. I wrote two think pieces for them earlier this year as a freelancer

Apologies!

No need to apologise. Just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page

There’s a level of irony re ‘think piece’ as it’s clearly not encouraged

My name is Trish Bendix & I’m an insufferable “feminist” fraud doing my best to do way more harm than good. No amount of Incel level death threats, rape threats, & emotional manipulation behavior from Q&T activists will be enough for me to make one tiny eff—ng balanced statement
