New Heterodorx podcast(s)! Episodes 134 & 135: Is Brianna Wu Based? https://www.heterodorx.com/podcast/episodes-134-135-is-brianna-wu-based/*Is the video game developer, computer programmer, GamerGate veteran, and aspiring politician “based” for recent statements against antisemitism? To find out, the Dorx invited Wu for an interview that lasted 2-and-a-half hours and is therefore broken into two parts (if you listen to only one, make it Part Two):PART ONE: A friendly conversation about eyebrows, makeup, Zionism, antisemitism, GamerGate, WPATH standards, trans civil rights, binary vs. nonbinary, philosophical questions, the TERF-Tranny Alliance, JK Rowling, holocaust denial, India Willoughby, illiberalism, Media Matters, and the Harry S Benjamin Standards of Care.PART TWO:An increasingly contentious discussion of Jesse Singal, journalistic standards, changing sex, allies, public policies that are cruel to trans people, identity, dehumanization, tolerance, prejudice, the N-word, swastika flags, fringe opinions, cognitive dissonance, cancellation, and the value of trans experience. It’s a long listen, but we think this episode gives a definitive answer to the title question.*

@nina How you maintained your composure throughout this is beyond me.

It was pretty awful. I can hear the stress in my voice after a while but I am glad others didn’t notice it so much.

@nina Oh, I can hear the stress but you never *lash out* like Brianna does. Corinna's efforts to keep some kind of levity are superhuman as well. Overall it really just makes Brianna Wu look bad, which isn't a hard thing to do.
