That Trans Thread

[Rev. Rye]

Okay, Harry Harlow does not belong on that list. The thing that brought him fame was the same exact thing that eventually made him notorious and the only thing that changed is people started to see his experiments with rhesus monkeys as more and more objectionable (though, that said, dysphemisms aside, it may have been the least ethically fraught way to cover the ground he was studying). Honestly, I'd add Graham Linehan to that listicle in his place. Hell, he's probably even worse than Jojo, given that, as far as I can tell, her impact in this area is mostly limited to being ignorant on Twitter and talking shit about trans folk, and Glinner's actively led harassment campaigns against them. Then again, Father Ted, Black Books, and The IT Crowd, even if they are three of the greatest sitcoms ever, aren't quite the same cultural touchstone as Harry Potter.

Or, if two TERFs are too much, maybe Amos Yee, since the fall from free speech martyr (and given that he was jailed for criticising former Singaporean PM Lee Kuan Yew, this title is very much deserved) to open fucking defender of sex with children is a pretty deep descent.
