> Singal seeks out specific members of the transgender community to harass.

No he doesn't. In some of his work, he reports on what prominent voices of that community have to say. Like any journalist. And sometimes, he responds when they lie about what he's written in his articles, or exhibit abusive behaviors against others.

Here's one example: https://jessesingal.substack.com/p/on-alejandra-caraballo-vs...

Now, you might frame this as Singal "harassing" Caraballo, but if you look at what he's written, he's reporting on Caraballo who is the one actually harassing and doxxing.

There are some very, very toxic figures in that community, and the only reason they started to come after Singal is that his journalism challenges their dogma.
