| > Neither does Singal. The hell he doesn't. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Jesse_Singal Who should I believe? A wiki that links to sources to back its opinions, or some rando on HN?

You'll have to pardon my lack of sympathy for somebody who, to my knowledge, has yet to have their door kicked down at zero dark thirty by a SWAT team at the behest of a transgender person's false report. > Then again, then someone's entire world view rests on what is fundamentally a lie, perhaps it's not surprising to see such excessive reactions when reality is exposed.

That wiki is an atrocious source. It's deceptive, uncharitable, openly biased, hate site that exists mostly to vent spleen against anyone that the authors don't like.
Note the paltering all throughout that article on Singal, showing that the authors are clearly intending to mislead.

Another opinion piece. Have you actually read any of his articles yourself?

I agree, the gender identity belief system is very cult-like and dogmatic, and accepts no dissent - just like religion.
