It's a line of thinking and investigation that make entirely Too Many gatekeeping males uncomfortable. Some females, too.

#Conformity is the Great Leveler, ain't it?

One wonders if this is a solid, if contrarian position, or just the Editorially Encouraged right wing slant.

I have to admire the anti-cancel culture warriors. The #NYT, in its infinite wisdom, has like ten or eleven opinion columnists. Two of them used to be married to each other: the awful #PamelaPaul and the egregious climate change denier, #BretStephens. So, the major paper in a nation of 350 million people decided an inbred conservative opinion page was just the thing for its subscribers. A sign that really, it doesn't give a fuck for its subscribers. I often wonder why I am one.

Again, I was calling out Pamela Paul's bullshit years before it was fashionable and y'all came after me for it. 🤣🤣

Okay, I couldn't resist reading. So Pamela Paul is transphobic because she's not over the bedbug? Wouldn't therapy have been more effective?

I found this an interesting analysis of the #pamelapaul piece in the #NYT in defence of JK Rowling.

The NYT has doubled down on their support of #transphobic bullshit via #pamelapaul, apparently believing that pandering to outrage culture is a better bet than actual thoughtful journalism.

I've had enough of Pamela Paul, the New York Times's in-house transphobe. And I have written a short essay condemning her constant attacks abd gaslighting of trans people. They are human beings just like the rest of us.

#pamelapaul #transphobia #unacceptable #newyorktimes

Pathetic that #nytimes would publish a defense of #jdrowling by the transphobe #pamelapaul. Her point of view can be summed up by one of the article’s commenters saying that they were “not transphobic, they are pro-biological women.” Black people know what that sort of language means.

#PamelaPaul is "under the misapprehension that the liberal-left case against #DeSantis is largely an aesthetic one. His 'political flaws,' she writes, are 'his distaste for glad-handing, his less-than-inspiring public-speaking style, his conspicuous unlikability'—as opposed to, say, his rolling culture war on any public education that doesn’t rigidly adhere to straight white fables of national uplift."

Let the record show that I sized Pamela Paul up as a dormant fascist fifteen years ago when she was NYTBR editor and I was covering books. Well before it was fashionable. And y'all excoriated me for it. Look, I do have good instincts sometimes.

#pamelapaul

I'm a FOOL. WHY did I click on that #PamelaPaul column about #AmericanDirt?! Of course she thinks the problem is the people who critiqued the book. Of course.

First #PamelaPaul pines for the liberalism of the 1960s where we were free to be you and me as long as we didn’t talk about sexuality. It’s an appeal to a kinder, gentler time of trans- and homophobia, where we simply didn’t have to exist in the public imagination. 2/
