Note how a 17-year-old trans girl is a “child” who must be protected when it comes to making her own medical decision, but an “activist” who can’t be afforded the basic protections of the law when she is assaulted by a 50-year-old man with a history of harassing trans people.

Every paragraph is a banger. I’m so happy right now. Sometimes you find a piece of writing just when you need it.

Jesus fuck. Bungie was even *a subsidiary of Sony* when I set the precedent establishing that companies have a legal obligation to protect their employees from online harassment. It's impossible for Sony Legal not to know about this.

I'm a big fan of Ms Mercante's work. One day about a year and a half ago I lit fire to my Twitter account because in talking about Sweet Baby Inc. she asked "where are the men who said they would never let this happen again?" and I said hey, I'm men, and I don't even have a job to lose.

I appreciate that in her article she called out my biggest success in the anti-harassment space (the Bungie judgment I reference above). Full disclosure: in my private lawyer iteration right now I do some work with her.
