I wrote about Dr. Jonathan Howard's view that to ask the question "What is a man?" is to put people in physical danger. I also questioned doctors who are unfamiliar with the bare basics of research methods can provide good care to their patients.

Bluesky users are objectively in favor of violent threats deployed against the 'right' targets. When Bluesky does the right thing and bans or suspends one of its many users who engage in violent threats, the only possible explanation is a conspiracy theory.

I think what annoys me the most is advocates for youth gender medicine simply *lying*, for years, that doctors only prescribe these treatments after careful deliberation -- long after we've known that this isn't the case. It's hard to fathom the recklessness

A Legal First That Could Change Gender Medicine
At 16, Fox Varian got a mastectomy while undergoing a gender transition. She sued her psychologist and plastic surgeon for leaving her ‘disfigured for life.’ Benjamin Ryan reports from the courtroom.

I made it clear in the piece that I think violence is a bad and counterproductive solution. I don't think anyone can read it and honestly accuse me of endorsing violence. Plus Trump has (remarkably and against what I expected) dialed down the tensions a bit since then anyway.
@jessesingal.com "In light of the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis, I’m worried that it’s getting harder and harder to make the standard anti-violence argument in good faith." Is that what you would have said to Gandhi and MLK?

yeah i don't equivocate on this in the piece -- my argument is that prior, c2020 arguments against violent protest seem to no longer really apply, though there's actually been some de-escalation on trump's part (somehow) over the last day or so
If protests become violent, that will give legitimacy to the government's use of violence. Keeping protests non-violent is *absolutely essential* for them to be effective, and for protesters to maintain, unequivocally, the moral high ground.

That's me -- I forced mainstream trans activists and their attorneys to appeal this case to SCOTUS, to make a Title IX argument based on sex discrimination, and to then, when asked what their definition of 'sex' is, say they don't have any.
I would have gotten away with it too if not for bluesky.

i’m sure you’re absolutely ecstatic about the possibility of being cited in the upcoming SCOTUS case that will likely decide trans people aren’t so much as a quasi-suspect class and greenlight states writing laws that literally criminalize transgender status. All your hard work coming to fruition

Bluesky's power users are in favor of violent threats, as long as the people receiving them "deserve" them. This is a much more complex and subjectivity-laden stance to take than the mods' stance, which is violent threats are always bad. The power users hate the mods for this.

Clearly, because he hasn’t just outright said “we should kill trans kids” that means his thin veneer of “just asking questions” is actually real and he has never taken actions to harm trans people ever.

In my opinion if you are mad at Jay about the waffles thing -- which I agree was heinously, grotesquely offensive and possibly illegal -- it will be hard to look yourself in the mirror unless you stop posting here forever and go start a newer, better social media platform with more safety features.
