That's not why he was arrested, but nice try.

He went to court for his altercation with a teen, and they're still hashing it out--as they should because there's obviously more nuance here than SM platforms like to entertain.

I would argue five armed police would be far better utilized policing rapists, thieves, murderers, rather than tweets.

Arresting him for tweets is pretty much policing his speech.

I never champion policing speech unless I'm okay with being policed for mine. There are an awful lot of variations of "Kill Terfs" that could likewise be policed if the political wind happens to change. You can, but I am not celebrating Glinner's arrest.

It's a heavy place to be.

I agree completely. "Us vs Them" never leads to understanding or compassion.

It's awful that the discussion seems to have fallen into another human dualism: tribalism (my side = good; other side = evil). We end up with two dichotomous groups with very absolute dividing lines wherein any allowance is viewed as betrayal.

For myself, that perceived separation between mind and body (whether or not there is dysphoria/dysmorphia fueling it) is an illusion, like many of the dualisms we humans tend to fall into.

I'm not sure. There are simply people out there who see sex as more valid a category than identity--and I understand that perspective. Identities can and do change, while we're pretty much stuck with our sex. I can also understand people who suffer a feeling of severe mismatch between mind and body.
