I see the trans and gender identity debate as nascent (and not yet mainstream) and therefore we must continue it until we have a saturation of views, especially views that offend and hurt feelings. Some, like this POC, are new to this debate (precisely because it is not mainstream) and want to have all views laid out before I can think critically about trans and gender identity. So thank you for writing about it!

Hi Jen you really missed the boat this one. Nothing to do with a pronouns and everything to do with a POC shared an opinion that a white person didn’t like and raised up a mob to take her down. I believe you call this racism pure and simple! Please don’t whitewash it!

I'm not convinced that the mob in this case was motivated by racism, but thank you for your feedback. -JG

Yes that was a bad attempt at sarcasm. But the point remains the same, in what world are publications forced to retract and apologize for what other wise might be considered a reasonable pushback against a policy. It's cancel culture at its worse. That's the point I was trying to make.
