I honestly don't think Nate Silver is worth your (or anyone's!) mental energy.
He's a has-been at this point, and he only retains whatever power to grab our attention that we cede to him.
Case in point: as a former 538 podcast listener, I hadn't thought about Nate in at least a year until this.

Remember, when journalists just let trans people live their lives in peace, it’s “ideological capture”, but when they use their own personal anti-trans beliefs to lead a campaign to close down the only place in the country trans youth received healthcare, it’s absolutely fine, nothing to see here.

Tim Davie, according to sources actually in the meetings, is not pro trans. He isn't anti trans, no. But he doesnt understand or want to advance trans issues in any meaningful way & the rise of transphobia in the BBC can be attributed more to a lack of action rather than any direct decision making.

I was once given a list of bigots at the BBC. About 20-30 of them in senior positions who had openly supported bigotry.
Not a single one, to my knowledge, ever faced any consequence or real pushback. Neither on their actions or their clearly successful attempts to sway the agenda more bigoted.
