@Timodc When people thought trans was Gay 2.0, they accepted it. When they realized it wasn’t, they didn’t.

Malcom Gladwell says he is “ashamed” of having said in a previous panel discussion that trans women have a place in women’s sports. He says he was “cowed” into saying so.

“Trans athletes have no place in the female category,” he says.

The statement engages in public discourse by discussing societal attitudes towards transgender issues and public figures' responses to them. It critiques the perceived shift in acceptance and the motivations behind public statements.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement may cause harm by oversimplifying complex issues related to transgender acceptance. [-2]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    It does not respect the dignity of transgender individuals by reducing their identity to a trend. [-2]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement lacks empathy and understanding towards the transgender community. [-2]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    It engages in criticism but lacks constructive dialogue, focusing instead on perceived inconsistencies in public figures' statements. [-1]
