Jesse Singal writes quite often about transgender issues, such as bogus studies and bad science. For that, disgraced former fact-checker Talia Lavin hoped to get him booted from Substack, even if it meant having to defame him. So did journalist and author Jonathan M. Katz. GLAAD added him to an “accountability list” of anti-LGBT figures.
On Thursday, Singal was disturbed by people openly celebrating the arrest of someone believed to have posted transphobic content online (the U.K. takes “hate speech” very seriously).

A proponent of trans genocide. Really.

You seem stable

Genocide? You have proof? Or are you just throwing words around so you feel justified in the hateful sentence that you’re making here?

Define “Genocide.”
Please show examples of his support for genocide.— Diogenes the Dilettante (@Diogenes3000) October 8, 2022
Serious question… Can you provide any evidence that Jesse is a proponent of trans genocide?

Stop being ridiculous

Literally anything that isn’t full throated approval of everything trans (no matter how false) is considered trans genocide
Trans genocide is about as real as white genocide— g (@BuggyTheClone) October 8, 2022
Words have no meaning to these people.

This is a really stupid tweet. Questioning something does not mean you're a proponent of genocide. My only hope is that you're a teenager which might explain your histrionics. If you're not, get some professional help and a milkshake. They make everything better.

“You’re a proponent of trans genocide.” Really? Please get off Twitter and go outside for a little while. You’ve stepped so far away from reality.

What, really, does trans genocide look like? And is there any other group that claims the victimhood that the trans community does? It claims to be powerless, but it’s a micro-minority that has changed the rules for how anyone can speak on social media or the public square. The Babylon Bee is still suspended for calling Rachel Levine a man. Super-reporter Taylor Lorenz is on a crusade to shut up anyone who criticizes puberty blockers or top surgery for minors. It’s ridiculous.
