Natasha Devon "#CancelCulture doesn't really exist" tweet

Natasha Devon @_NatashaDevon #CancelCulture doesn't really exist. It's a myth created by people who have been used to saying whatever they want without being challenged and are now surprised when there are consequences to their words. #Rowling is still a very rich bestselling author with a massive platform. 5:44 AM · Jul 8, 2020 · Twitter for iPhone >

Emily VanDerWerff letter to Vox editors about Matt Yglesias

To the editors: As a trans woman who very much values her position at Vox and the support the publication has given her through the emotional and physical turmoil of transition, I was deeply saddened to see Matt Yglesias's signature on the Harper's Weekly letter. Matt is, of course, entitled to his own opinion, and I know he is a more nuanced thinker than signing the letter would suggest. He has never been anything but kind to me and has often supported my work publicly, all of which I am extremely grateful for. But the letter, signed as it is by several prominent anti-trans voices and containing as many dog whistles toward anti-trans positions as it does, ideally would not have been signed by anybody at Vox, much less one of the most prominent people at our publication. Again: Matt's opinions and experiences are his own, and he can do what he wants with his free time. But his signature being on the letter makes me feel less safe at Vox and believe slightly less in it stated goals of building a more diverse and more thoughtful workplace. On a more practical level, the presence of Matt's tweets and his signature to a letter like this do make my job slightly more difficult, as would-be readers and sources too often equate my positions with his. After all, he remains one of our most prominent staffers. (This is, to be clear, a minor problem. I can always find other folks to talk to.) I don't want Matt to be reprimanded or fired or even asked to submit an apology. Doing any of the above would only solidify, in his own mind, the idea that he is being martyred for his beliefs. But I do want to make clear that those beliefs cost him nothing. They are not particularly risky. They are not particularly sound, even. I am used to hearing them from people who believe my own lived experiences pale in comparison to their own momentary social media discomfort. I'm sorry to find Matt among those voices. --Emily VanDerWerff Critic at Large

Malcolm Gladwell tweet

Malcolm Gladwell @Gladwell I signed the Harpers letter because there were lots of people who also signed the Harpers letter whose views I disagreed with. I thought that was the point of the Harpers letter. Jennifer Finney Boylan *O @JennyBoylan · 15h I did not know who else had signed that letter. I thought I was endorsing a well meaning, if vague, message against internet shaming. I did know Chomsky, Steinem, and Atwood were in, and I thought, good company. The consequences are mine to bear. I am so sorry. 9:18 AM - Jul 8, 2020 · Twitter for iPhone
