Be fair - he’s also a US Senator from Texas...

But why would you need to prevent Trae Young from shooting?  Just go get the rebound.

I mean he got beat and made an obvious foul to prevent a shot. I think we’ve all played with the old guy in the gym who does this. It just so happens that this old guy in an NBA rookie. 

Or maybe they just needed cap space to sign JR Smith?

Yes!  My first thought was that she was going for the camera.  Then I was like, “Where the hell is she going?” We soon found out...

The best part is when she fell through the ceiling. 

That was highly entertaining and so Canadian, in America that dude would be dead even as a white man.

What makes you think Singal is against including trans perspectives? Just from a brief second skim, his article included the perspectives of several happily-transitioning youth (and I’m not referring to the detransitioners), two adult trans psychiatrists, an adult trans educator, the adult trans administrator of…

I understand what you’re saying, but all of this relies on the article Singal wrote being really bad and transphobic, and nobody seems to be able to explain how it is. Even in these “private” communications, Singal repeatedly expresses how important positive transition narratives are and the power of supporting gender…

I actually read the Atlantic article, and it seemed to me his message is knowing whether or not you are trans should be taken seriously and teenagers should not be rushed into physical transitions. I thought it showed the utmost respect for the trans community by stressing how it should not be co-opted by merely…

Honestly, can you please for the love of anything explain how anything this guy has written is transphobic or hurts trans people? He is advising caution, using the limited data available and first person accounts, about drugging up of children we do not allow to consent to sex, we do not allow to drive, vote, or…

Trans has become a political/personal identity so it can no longer be discussed objectively or by people who do not share the identity. You have to understand how the concept of trans has changed away from being a medical “condition” to understand why what might on the surface seem fairly reasonable is to those who…

I understand being skeptical of people raising these arguments. I’ve certainly met a fair share of folks who I’d consider to be transphobes who cling to any ‘evidence’ they can find that allows them to further discriminate. I gotta say though, I don’t feel like this journalist in this case is doing anything other than…

I started doing trans activism in the late 90s when I was still a teenager. I went to one of the only trans friendly colleges in the early 2000s in the country, and continued to do that activism. I agree with almost everything that Jesse says. The trans activist community (not the trans community itself) has become…

Edited: I wanted to point out that I otherwise enjoyed the article. I learned much from the exchanges and commentary.

What on earth was the point of this article? The entire internet is full of people writing articles and a bunch of other people shouting in agreement right below them. It’s happening in this comment section too!

I find it interesting you are getting friction from others for your point of view. It seems pretty common sense. If a journalist reached out to me and started a conversation with something similar (for example, “Why do you have these dumbass beliefs?”), I would likely not respond. And then if they did that a bunch…

This is like when Jezebel ambushed some actress doing a fluff press tour with questions about Harvey Weinstein and got pissy because she didn’t oblige them.

Agreed. Those emails were completely unprofessional. There are good ways to fight, and I’m convinced there is a good story here. Too bad a journalist thinks it’s acceptable to speak like that in pursuit of a story.
