Jesse Singal's life's work is laundering transphobia into language that that cocktail party set finds palatable. This technique attacks a weakness of liberalism and democracy, and it's being exploited ruthlessly right now.
You have to treat the shtick like the thing it's pretending not to be.

Oh, wait! Who's Singal's co-host of his shitty podcast? Is it Dan Savage's known, virulent transphobe pal Katie Herzog, who was run out of Seattle queer spaces for her bigotry?
Huh! Weird coincidence!
Savage has always been a bigoted asshole.

I'd add that those men also see women as sex objects to possess. And are terrified their source of desire may be a trans woman.
That's why they don't care about trans men. And make different narratives for the transition reasons between MtF and FtM.
Now is the time for "asking questions" (that already have been answered multiple times decades ago)?
Same with phrenology, race science, or Nazi archaeology and genetics.

They said it, they meant it, they just don't want to own the consequences.
There are downstream effects from such a maneuver that benefit the platform.
They knew exactly how far they could go, and the suits were their income.
wait for it

Democrat.
But BSky is better off without him all the same.
Hold the line.
But as I said, avoiding the shittiness is a layup for Bluesky.
someone who feels the need to police the existence of a vulnerable population because they have an inflexible outdated ideologically driven mindset will go after anyone they think is stepping outside of their pre-set boundaries
We need to let the "town square" idea die.
Personally the phrase that won the day for me was, “you have to be willing to go sicko mode on them, letting them rules-lawyer you from the phantom zone.”
