This was more in response to talk about who's too alarmist, also some bad feelings btw professional trans journos and ppl straddling the journalist/activist/influencer line.

I don't quite follow - I try not to spend too much of my time criticizing anyone, so I guess I don't conflate "not bashing a colleague" with not showing them respect.

There's no but, but there is an implied criticism of people who do engage in that sort of thing for no good reason.

For trans people in the US it is certainly possible to be too alarmist, but it's also very possible to not be alarmist enough.

Times are tough, but any little bit you give to Assigned Media strengthens our ability to ensure we can bring you compelling trans stories from all walks of life and all parts of the country.
