What drives online mob campaigns, and what does this new Gallup survey of the U.S. LGBT population highlight that merits further examination and investigation?
Me at the beginning of the video: "OK Glen, maybe I read you uncharitably. Let's see what you have to say."
Narrator: She had not read him uncharitably.
ETA: Having listened to the whole thing now, I can't help but notice how many times he drew attention to the oppression of the BTQs as compared to the LGs. He seems, uh, very interested in protecting the turf, so to speak of the LGs. He didn't say "transtrenders," but that's pretty much what this whole thing is about. (And bitrenders too, if that's a word.) He pretty much just claims that the growth of people saying they're bi is down to people wanting to win the Oppression Olympics, and f to m trans people are just confused butch lesbians.
There's definitely a lot of political/social "trendism" that happens on Twitter (not that this applies to the gender and sexual identities of Twitter users), and Glenn is definitely very Twitter-brained. I find the website toxic and absolutely grating to browse (i do it anyway every once in a while), even when it comes to users and takes that I more or less "agree" with (and then there's dumb shit like this).

But Glen, what if butch lesbians were actually just confused trans men?
Woah you think I’m overreaching in prescribing another’s identity?
ALMOST LIKE IDENTITY IS FUCKING COMPLICATED AND NUANCED AND THE BEST ADVOCATES ARE THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES
