I would argue that there is a pattern of simply attributing to me positions I've never taken, and pretending I've written things I haven't written, and that people use these made-up opinions and arguments to justify behavior they'd be outraged about if the target was seen as friend rather than foe - ThreadSky

Jesse Singal: "Waaaah Bluesky users are sending me death threats and are making me scared. 😭😭😭"

Also Jesse Singal: "Read my latest story on how trans people should be eradicated."

The taste of your own medicine is bitter, isn't it?

Yep, utterly wild to see people convinced - and proselytizing to others - you're doing things that you're just not, like going on Bluesky to attack and harass or rounding up your followers on other sites to do so.

The attacks have been entirely one way, but they just insist what is not so is

You misunderstand the Postmodern mind:
It's not about what you *said*, it's about what you *meant*.
See?

I don’t think you even have to make that argument; it’s self-evident. It must be exhausting to get so angry over a fiction.

There you go; Genociding trans people again. You just can’t help yourself, can you? /s

I missed the call for eradication. In which article was that? Or was it a BarPod episode?

At this point, sadly, it wouldn't matter if you were the resurrected Christ.

It verges on paranoia and conspiracy theory but the strangest part is that it's absolutely true. Whenever I've digged into the claims of Julia Serano or any of the others, it never pans out, just never. it's all just innuendo and smear.

Something that probably should be conventional wisdom by now is that there are quite a lot of people who will lie outrageously for attention, clout, self-aggrandizement, any kind of reason and in insular online communities those lies really can have legs.

And yet it never seems to put a dent in their credibility.

Your claim not to have advocated the eradication of trans people would hold a lot more water if you hadn't padded out The Quick Fix with three whole chapters consisting of nothing but "Eradicate trans people!" repeated over and over again.
