"Im just asking questions"

Imagine being all consumed with disdain like some gender criticals are and lose your mind over trans people (1.4% of the population). What I find is that the most insidious are not the ones frothing at the mouth like Matt Walsh or fumbling like the everyman idiot Joe Rogan, but instead I focus on the 'I'm just asking questions' types a la Kathleen Stock. The latter introduces questioning in what appears to be reasonable tonality which gives them a credibility with those who might be on the fence allies; you know, the types of people who want to help but they worry about certain scenarios.

I find it disappointing that the trans people in sports question gets wrapped in to the rights to use a bathroom in an all or nothing line of questioning. It is one way of draping one's discrimination in the flag of respectability without appearing toxic. For one certainly could debate some of the finer points without throwing the baby out with the bath water, but then that would give trans people credibility which these criticals are desperately out to avoid.

No, it is easier to cloak your message in less threatening ways and through your introduction of "reasonable doubt", put yourself on the same footing as the medical experts when you clearly are not.

Completely disgusting.
