@Trianon idk if someone here is going to take one for the team and pirate his book, but my god I hope they do. He really, REALLY harps on the fact that his fictional book isn't totally at all how he feels in reality, but the lady doth protest too much. I don't know if he has an agent or if he's tard wrangling himself, but it seems like the closer his book comes to publishing, the more he reveals
how much of himself is in that book. I look forward to seeing if there are characters with different voices or viewpoints in it that aren't his that don't feel stiff or strawmen.
I wonder if he's a hardcore, or perhaps radical, testosterone terminators (RaTTs if you will). The type of trans woman to panic at the slightest bit of testosterone, those who see it as a source of evil, period, and think that anyone willingly taking it is poisoning themselves? Maybe he has shades of it. Or maybe he just came to write a revenge fantasy first, trans men be damned for Gretchen's fee-fees. It could be both or either.
Ironically, had a natal woman/man wrote this, that bitch would be canceled so hard their ass would leave skidmarks on the pavement. Books written by white people with a decent "racism bad mmkay also heres characters who grow out of racism and PoC characters with actual character outside of race" plotlines can get shitcanned instantly by twitter without even reading it to realize it's content. I already written Gretchen off since I have seen one too many authors like Gretch before, but I am willing to be convinced otherwise and would cut Gretch some slack if it turns out his writing of trans men is somewhat nuanced (but lol doubt it).
Funny how he picks an extreme example of a bad coping mechanism that can hurt the patient further in the long run to mean it is ok and healthy for him to do it himself. Something that is so weird and notable that studies have been done on it and therapy has been given to free them of those thoughts rather than encourage it. Therefore, him wanting to fuck TERFs and hope their heads get stomped in is fine and doesn't need to be addressed even though he says it is more than fiction feeling for him. Huh.
I really hate this loser for taking themes I essentially agree on (depiction is not endorsement, art should not be banned or condemned simply because it causes a negative emotional reaction in some people) and turning them into one of the dumbest things I have ever read.
Like all personal beliefs, extremist and trollshielders ruin everything. He strikes me as the censorship version of predatory male feminist who only come to meetings and do activism to pretend he never does bad behavior towards women. Or anyone who commits a planned murder or tempted a victim into attacking them and justifies it with stand your ground laws (good laws in concept soured when these people get a hold on it).
He is mad that people write fanfiction about Marvel movies instead of seeking out transgressive gay art? Maybe because the "transgressive gay art" fucking sucks? Let teenage girls write their bad fanfiction about the Avengers making out with each other and leave them alone, creep.
I pray he stays mad. Not everyone has a good transgressive story in them, nor a good idea of how to portray gay characters. Do cis heteros even have the right to do so? Ask your community and get 20 different people disagreeing with each other.
Anyway, I hope that tweet about Gretchen literally fantasizing about hanging Kathleen Stock (he does not name her, but what other "TERF" professors were in the news in October 2021?) makes him famous. His second tweet in the thread makes it even more clear he is talking about what he wants to do in real life:

Troons need to stop saying "exterminated", "eliminated", "killed", "round up into camps", etc. No one has proposed a bill for any of that shit. They also haven't proposed many (keyword is many) that say "ha ha ha trans people aren't real."
They've proposed bills stopping natal males from competing in sports. They have proposed bills stopping born males to be using restrooms: trans women don't have to get the snip so no one can tell if someone is poorly passing or a creep - check the statistics on sexual crimes commited by transgender inmates (hint 50% of the gorls are in prison for sexual assault crimes). There have been other proposed bills to protect the health of children from early osteoporosis due to luperon and making hasty choices. Do you WANT more detransitioners that TERFs could wave in your face?
There have been people calling you mentally ill but not that you aren't existing as a mentally ill person - and reminder, how the fuck do you convince insurance to pay for GCS if you can't call it a medical condition, just cosmetic because gendersex no real? There has been resistance to nonbinary identifiers (as it is hard to say "nonbinary but presents mostly as masculine" for a missing person's description) which is the closest to denying anyone existing. Forcing people to only use preferred pronouns can lead to a lot of litigants just doing it for easy money. If someone calls you a man or he him, no one could stop them on the grounds of free speech just like no one can stop you from correcting them. They can deny gravity or whatever and still be protected, even if gravity will still make them tumble down the stairs one day - people are allowed to be dumbasses and assholes.
Gretchen and trans people like this should not be eliminated but put in zoos for further study and laughter.
Some more loveliness:

(Can
anyone archive Twitter right now? Archive.org just keeps saying it's overloaded when I try)
Lmao all men who kill trans people over drug deals, lover spats, and prostitution are TERFs, as well as male politicians and regular private citizen cis men. It's so nice to include them as radical femminist, more men should be recognized as such.
"a novel is not a manifesto" - tell Ayn Rand'a ghost, her fans, & literature scholars that.
Gretchen is a moron and I would not have sex with them no matter what gender they present as.
