Do you consider issues like intentionally misgendering someone to be a political issue, a human rights issue, or the equivalent of calling someone a mean name?

The Rogan clip he’s referencing is about whether Twitter having a rule against misgendering trans people is “left wing ideological bias” https://t.co/Ccf84JmvUF

Amazon leadership held a session for employees dealing with the “trauma” of Matt Walsh’s book becoming a best seller and dealing with his trolling. They strategize on how to demote it on their site and claim he will get people killed. @MattWalshBlog broke them. pic.twitter.com/AKH8ihO0iV

This is the greatest moment of my career

More from the Amazon therapy session for trauma from Matt Walsh’s books: They accuse Matt of hate speech and the host literally breaks down in tears. Attendees are warned “brace yourself” before a clip of Matt reading his book is played. We are living in different realities. pic.twitter.com/naxlcG7RvD

I personally believe that The Guardian will inevitably end unequivocally affirming and supporting trans people because the vast majority of its staff have this position, and because trans rights is an article of faith for younger people who the paper's future depends on.

On the other hand, I'm on the receiving end of a very coordinated campaign to drive me out The Guardian, as its only LGBTQ columnist, from both within and outside the newspaper.

This isn't small violin campaign: it's not about *me*, they want all trans allies out of public life.
— Owen Jones 🌹 (@OwenJones84) April 28, 2022

The campaign against, say, me, can't be divorced from the campaign against @stonewalluk, the main LGBTQ civil rights organisation in the country.

Anti-trans activists are literally engaged in an attempt to destroy the organisation in its entirety.

Apparently it stirs up hate to post pictures of black lesbians marching for their rights, so here's a picture of Alex Drummond, white, bearded, Stonewall-approved lesbian, plus an interview: https://t.co/EUYLLSYyZF. #IStandWithAllisonBailey pic.twitter.com/HCL1M5cw1F
