From my travels:

Oh please, these angry folks never do the reading!

The last source I’m going to go to about this issue is Xtramagazine. I trust Jesse’s reporting.

How the Fight Over Transgender Kids Got a Leading Sex Researcher Fired A transgender-politics maelstrom north of the border.

Jesse did a good job writing about it here. I talked to Dr. Zucker this week myself. He’s a good guy and is not al all this cartoonish demon people make him out to be.

I can tell you that his work has been grossly mischaracterized by activists.

I’m a little French, actually, about 7% French Canadian.

The French think you’re filthy, unmannered and uncultured, Ben.

As the dollar-store Jesse Singal, I took the liberty.

Evergreen tweet. No notes.

I’m sure everyone in Bluesky will love this podcast with Jesse Singal, hosted by @bendreyfuss.bsky.social and others! www.centralairpodcast.com/p/real-accou...

I have also discussed the case in about 20 interviews, which I have posted in this thread: x.com/benryanwrite...

Read it and decide for yourself.

If you read my reporting, you will understand these complexities better.

That is a very reductive take that flattens a complex case. The trial called into question the affirmative model. The psychologist was lambasted for not questioning the girl’s suffer gender identity and her fervent desire for a mastectomy, for not exploring those issues with her more deeply.

Harvard Law School clinical instructor and trans activist Alejandra Caraballo corrects herself and calls me a mean name.

But she neglects to note this article from 2025, written by a trans woman:

Caraballo should issue a correction.

Which journalist are you referring to?

She’ll just move the goalposts.

Caraballo makes a false claim: that The Atlantic has platformed no trans people over the past decade to discuss their lives.

For one, The Atlantic platformed Evan Urquhart.

Gays don’t need to register their sexuality with the registrar and have everyone say their sexual orientation every time they refer to them. That’s the difference.

Very good!

That is correct. GLAAD often does not tell the truth.

Have you read any of my reporting on trans issues?
