The only reason I think you should continue towrite about this is because you do have a substantial readership on Medoim, where the "trans" activists have complete dominance over the site, and you somehow have a knack for writing without getting kicked off by frivolous accusations of "transphobia."

What I meant was that to the relatively small readership you have on substack, the issue is exhausted. Mind you I am not complaining.
If I may suggest, I think that taking the trouble to separate the authentically transphobic from the fad-riders is a productive approach. I think their claim that gender dysphoria is not prerequisite to claiming "trans" is a critical weakness of their ideology since that establishes beyond doubt that most of them are just in it for attention.
My perspective on this forum may be unique in that I have known a number of genuine transsexuals before the "trans" fad; this doesn't protect me from their tiresome accusation but it does enable me to lean on the 99:1 difference between the fakes and the genuine.
I do think the activists have gone too far, their ideology is nuttier than MAGA and the "definition of woman" thing and Lia Thomas' unfair advantage are turning people away from the extremity of "woke."
Your choice. But I would lean hard on the position that dysphoria is optional because that means the other 99% are only in it for special attention. And I think the "claiming to be black with no African ancestry" is a powerful point.
I just received a hate speech suspension email from Roger he/him over a non-hateful disagreement with the premise of a story. They win. No more trans comments or stories for me.
I responded to this on my phone but for some reason my response appears as a separate article, above.
I was kicked off again too, no email though, and I had not been on there for weeks. Mostly I responded to drivelous software articles and got tons of claps.
I didn't get kicked off the platform. A couple of comments were "suspended" and I was told my distribution limited (shadow ban) and account suspension next up.
He sent the policies on hate speech and in my opinion none of them applied to my comments.
The best thing for me would be to add trans articles to my don't read this crap list. Honest communication with trans people is as rare as it is with "dear white people" and "patriarchy" authors. Best to avoid them like dog shit on the sidewalk.
I wrote long ago that "a trans woman is biologically male," and this was called hate speech. That was several bannings ago. Bigotry is not prerequisite; all it takes is some rage case yelling "transphobia."
It will not be easy getting out of the "trans" recommendations. They will keep coming. Medium seems to have completely crossed over into two topic of discussion:
1) "trans" activists expressing their rage
2) junior software developers who think they have everything figured out
