There's a way to bring stuff like this up on HN that won't result in...well, you see the replies. Yes he is a bigot, and I know this from reading his own comments (not from hearsay as his defenders like to assume), but even as The Choir I find this comment a bit unhelpful. It's a one-liner and a link. Not even with an anchor to the part of the wiki that addresses this.
- adrusi 4y agoSingal isn't a bigot. It's not the service to trans people that many people seem to think it is to call anyone who documents unflattering dimensions of trans politics a bigot. Colin Wright, mentioned in the article, could more reasonably be called a bigot, though having his Paypal account terminated on that basis wouldn't be just. But this really shouldn't be about Singal or Wright. I, a trans woman, had a fine evening out with the actual author of the piece, Yassine Meskhout, back in April along with a few other folks, and I'm quite sure he isn't bigoted against trans people.
- Kye 4y agoI think I'll stick with my original opinion based on my own experience and reading. You don't get to decide for me any more than I get to decide for you.

After all it is only a matter of proper verbiage how to most effectively ostracize someone you've personally deemed unlikeable eh? Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
