Remarkable sights today, j*sse s*ngal posted an article observing that Trump's USAID cuts have already caused deaths and this is an immoral disaster - and dozens of his subscribers promptly commented to tell him that these kinds of opinions are absolutely not what they are following him for

...I'm sure he will make this a "free speech" or "civil discourse" issue, but Jesse has a long history of lying about & harassing ppl (especially trans women) online & sometimes in real life – here's but a few examples (from: juliaserano.blogspot.com/2017/12/my-j...)

screenshot from linked to article that reads:
Jun 18, 2018 – Katherine Cross on Singal sending her an email “swearing a storm at me because I tweeted something he disliked that he felt was untrue.”
Jun 18, 2018 – Cat Fitzpatrick mentions Singal threatened to sue her for politely disagreeing with him.
Jan 15, 2019 – Singal levies legal threats against two writers who mention that they personally know trans women who’ve had bad interactions with him.
Jul 7, 2020 – the day the Harper’s Letter (which Singal was a signatory) was released, Singal instigated pile-ons of multiple people. I captured him initiating the pile-on of Jennifer Finney Boylan as it was occurring in this thread (both up & down from linked-to tweet). Emily VanDerWerff reacts to Singal’s pile-on of her here and, two days later, discusses the aftermath of that pile-on (which included “Death threats, rape threats, invitations to commit suicide, constant misgendering, etc”). Ari Drennen took screenshots of Singal targeting Aja Romano.
Because Singal’s attack on Emily VanDerWerff was premised on his false presumption that she was trying to get one of her employers fired (which she has denied), lots of other writers began coming forward with stories of Singal contacting their employers and editors because he disliked what they wrote. Here are some of those instances:
Jul 7, 2020 – Katelyn Burns on Singal “repeatedly emailing my employer until they fired me” is found here. A week later a co-worker corroborated that story.
Jul 7, 2020 – Noah Berlatsky shares: “also Jesse emailed me to demand I save DMs from Katelyn and others and investigate them for him, implying he would sue me otherwise.”
Jul 7, 2020 – Katerine Cross shares: “Back when I wrote for Feministing, he repeatedly badgered the editors trying to get a critical post that mentioned him briefly changed or taken down.”
Jul 9, 2020 – Harron Walker shares how Singal “emailed my editor many times after this was published seeking correction....on my ANALY…

I should introduce myself: I'm Soula, and I wrote a novel called Wild Geese which came out last year. It won the Lambda Literary Award for Trans Fiction and the Gordon Bowker Volcano Prize for writing about being away from home. I think it's good #queerwriters footnotepress.com/books/wild-g...

one of my favorite "SOCIETY" things is this 2018 cover of the news magazine The Atlantic, written by mealy-mouthed bigot Jesse Singal, where a moral panic about us transgender people is front and center, and in TINY little print in the top right, "We're Not Prepared for the Next Pandemic"

A cover for The Atlantic, showing an androgynous model front and center in a "health report" with a misgendering title text of "Your child says she's trans, she wants hormones and surgery, and she's 13 by Jesse Singal" a notorious writer obsessed with trans people. And in other text are smaller headings like "Being Black in America can take years off your life", "What Book should everyone on Earth Read", and in tiny print "We're not prepared for the next pandemic"
