Episode 133: Straights Against Gays Against Groomers Against Women’s Sports

After Katie tells Jesse about her #VanLife travails, Jesse corrects some stuff from the last episode, and a bit more lucky Pierre/Eiffel Tower/etc. goes down, the hosts discuss a recent Atlantic article about youth sports and gender that is… well, it’s really quite bad. Then they discuss the de-PayPalling of Gays Against Groomers and the Free Speech Union, which seems like bad news whatever you think of these groups

Jesse on Ginder/State stuff (thread)

Jesse Singal @jessesingal

1/ Some folks on Kiwi Farms and elsewhere have suggested David "Near" Ginder isn't dead because their name didn't appear on the report on American deaths overseas issued by the State Department in Japan. FWIW, and notwithstanding any other evidence/arguments about this case...

Gays Against Gr██mers @againstgrmrs

BREAKING: We have just been BANNED from @Venmo and @PayPal (within minutes of each other) for “violating” their user agreements. We are an organization that consists entirely of gay people whose only mission is to safeguard children from abuse. Woke homophobia is real, folks.

The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion

Why has @PayPal cancelled the FSU? We don’t know. As so often when dealing with these Silicon Valley behemoths, it’s impossible to hold them to account. There is no redress if they decide to terminate your account. FSU Head Toby Young for the @spectator.
