#3The website is suspect, of course. So, the dude being talked about had a miserable time, though he won in court... but it's not clear that is why he killed himself. HUGE jump. Downvote.

IDK. Nothing is forever, but I fear that we will be in a "post-facts" era for the forseeable future.

He left a note (not published) from an article I saw Paul Graham post.

#7As a society we need to be able to move past “nice life/career/reputation you got there, would be a real shame if someone were to accuse you of racism for holding a different opinion”.

> The website is suspect
Oof, after you said that, I did a little exploring and immediately found a plethora of anti-trans apologetics, most notably with The Witch Trials of JK Rowling, a podcast that defends JKR's naked transphobia as mere concerns, which Natalie Wynn has a great video about here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmT0i0xG6zg&t=1240. And then, just by scrolling through the home page, I found the articles: "How Therapists Became Social Justice Warriors", "When Ideology Corrupts Medicine-and How One Reporter Exposed it", and "My Research on Gender Dysphoria Was Censored. But I Won’t Be." Just... yikes.
Sooo, yeah, I have to agree that the website is suspect and may very well be jumping to conclusions because they have an agenda to push.

#9thefp.com is hardly a news source, much less this “article” an editorial piece.
If you zoom out a little, you should be able to see what this really is.
Article doesn’t belong here.
