For me there are basically three eras. 1996-2008 - we don’t exist outside of certain communities. 2008-2020 - much visibility! Token trans friend! 2020-now - you horrible fucking pervert why was I even friends with you?

The New York Times leaving out the Bay Area rationalist and startup cofounder who was most directly and intensely transphobic to Ziz? It's more likely than you think bsky.app/profile/zinn...
In a 2021-04-21 comment on her blog, Ziz says "Vassar kept loudly ostentatiously calling me 'he/him', Emma brought it up, he made it clear that if I wanted 'she/her' pronouns I’d have to earn that personhood" WOW (web.archive.org/web/20230228...)

All facts that were left out of the New York Times article on Ziz: bsky.app/profile/zinn...
Ziz claims: "Vassar has had, I think about 6, transfems gravitate to him, join his projects, go on his quests, that I’ve heard. Including Olivia, and Jessica, and I think Devi. Devi had a mental breakdown and detransitioned IIHC. Jessica had a mental breakdown and didn’t detransition."

He is an entrepreneurial pro-detransition transphobe: bsky.app/profile/zinn...
Vassar continues: "A class action lawsuit by the Zach Davis reference class could generate a great deal of wealth and of political power."
So Michael Vassar, founder of a Peter Thiel-backed startup, thought spurious detransitioner lawsuits could be used to gain wealth and political power. Fuck him!

Michael Vassar is a transphobe by any definition: bsky.app/profile/zinn...
Ziz's 2019-11-13 post (web.archive.org/web/20230228...) quotes Alyssa Vance from MetaMed as saying Michael Vassar believes trans women "are definitely men and definitely shouldn't transition", and that he "is a self-described TERF" and "seems to try to push people he knows away from transitioning"

The Times article does a superficial and meaningless check-in with a few big names in the Bay Area rationalist movement who want to distance themselves, but completely omits any mention of the Bay Area rationalist who was apparently closest and most influential to Ziz: Michael Vassar (🧵)
So my wife and I freelanced remotely for founder Michael Vassar's MetaMed in 2013 - a regrettable experience. We started reading this (www.wired.com/story/deliri...), and then we found out that MetaMed's Scott Alexander alleges that the Zizians are "a Vassarite splinter group" (archive.ph/xv9zl)

This is the sort of thing that should never, ever be allowed to happen again. The elite transphobes are MAGA in spirit and frankly should be hounded out of any decent institution that wants access to non-MAGA money. I wish a Democratic elected official would say this.

It has nothing to do with trans people defending or not defending themselves in sympathetic or unsympathetic ways.

The expansion of American transphobia from a minority position is almost wholly astroturfed (more like astroTERFed) by a few writers, editors, and capitalists at the Times, the Atlantic, and maybe NYMag.

It’s quite competitive but it’s probably the single most disgusting thing elite liberals have done since supporting the Iraq War.
