I am impressed that you were asked about bias and could have gone with anything and decided the best thing to do was out yourself as a transphobe with dogwhistles. Why did you do that?
I’m perplexed: How do you go from someone saying “gender is a social construct” to them being trasphobic? I got the “spot the vegan” vibes that they were trying to suddenly make this about trans rights…
I didn’t out myself as a transphobe, in fact I made it very clear that I’m in favour of trans rights by adding an aside about how I disagree with gender abolitionists. The fact that I said recognising gender is a bias doesn’t make me a transphobe. And I was worried people would think that, so I made it clear that I think recognising gender is a good bias. But clearly you stopped reading before you got to that point.
Why did you go off on one about gender at all? It had nothing to do with anything and yet you filled your comment with transphobic dogwhistles. Of all the things you could have chosen you chose that?
One of the things I’m confused about is when you said Ground News is a conservative OP and was asked to elaborate you went on a long rant about gender bias but said nothing about why you believe they are conservative. You completely changed the point and never answered the question.

Gender is an easy example of a social construct. It was more relatable to most people than talking about how consensus reality is fake.
