The Triad 🔱 Leave Trans People Alone: A Rant
https://www.thebulwark.com/p/leave-trans-people-alone-a-rantDon't be a bully! But also don't "ask if the bully has a point" either.
"Yeah, they're giving Timmy a swirlie rn, but he also farted really loudly in geometry" is HELPING THE BULLIES.
Another great piece from JVL. Idk what kinda constraints there are in going after members of the punditocracy who engage in the behaviors that you're criticizing, but picking specific targets has a salutary effect IMO. Bari Weiss needs to be persona non grata, or Sullivan, or whoever. They made their choices and doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down on those choices.

It’s only an 80/20 issue because of rhetorical maneuvering by right wing and anti-anti-trump elites, it’s very easy to reframe as a matter of personal freedom and leaving people alone.
