It’s (rhetorically) funny how flexible the commitment to “balance” is—which voices it’s deemed unacceptable to exclude and which voices it’s totally fine to exclude.

It’s particularly sharp in this case, but one of the reasons Both Sides is a worthless principle is because Both Sides has never actually meant Both Sides. It’s not really a principle at all; it’s an anti-principle, a post facto self-justification.

Yeah I can’t think of another reason to not ask trans people about these discriminatory laws other than to be gratuitously anti-trans in coverage. It sucks and I hope this changes ASAP.
