There needs to be ONLY sex-based standards for everything.

Andy Ngo has a large following, and is an expert shit-stirrer. I'm pretty sure he deliberately calls this guy a woman throughout the article in order to incite his base.

Sadly, Ngo's base overlaps with the MAGA base. So while Ngo will peak many with this, they won't actually be feminists.

I had asked this on r/GenderCritical before as well, but do critiques of trans ideology necessarily have to come from a RadFem perspective? Granted, women disproportionately bear the negative impacts of implementing these policies, so perhaps a GC critique is the most salient generally, outside of specific topics e.g. a pediatrician speaking out against child-transing.

Because these same men (Ngo's base) also think that things were better back when women didn't have any rights and/or that women complain too much about not having rights and point to their boss or congressperson being a woman as an example. A lot of them are true, deep-seated women-haters who also want us barefoot and pregnant and chained to a stove.

But I agree that critiques of trans ideology or any ideology can and should come from many different perspectives.

Barefoot, pregnant, and chained to a stove is still better than being made into a TRA skinsuit, no? Bit of a generalization of Ngo's base, who I'd characterize instead as mere free speech, free markets advocates,

I read Ngo's twitter a lot and would characterize SOME of his base as what you said, and others as just angry men ready to go to war with anyone because they feel so disenfranchised.

just angry men ready to go to war with anyone because they feel so disenfranchised.

This could describe Gamergate, the Proud Boys, BLM, and Antifa equally. I think different people feel disenfranchised for different reasons, but I appreciate Ngo more for his tenacity to cover the instigation in the face of consistent violence.

I agree with your first sentence, except for maybe BLM, whose recent protesters seem to be rich white kids.

I think that Ngo is very brave in putting himself out there, but he follows a long line of yellow journalists, making $$$ out of inflaming the masses.

lol yes, this 100%

making $$$ out of inflaming the masses.

Not unlike Tucker Carlson (or even his former MSNBC colleague Rachel Maddow), yes. But then again Tucker purportedly has the highest-rated cable network (lol) news show. It's not like the events being covered aren't happening. Andy does editorialize, but he's not materially changing the underlying reporting.

I have actually interacted with Maddow, at the height of her popularity. I think she's kind of full of herself, so am not a fan girl, but I don't think she's evil at all, unlike say, Sean Hammity and Tucker Carlson.

I'm pretty sure I caught Andy in some fibs lately. But I don't have the time to go back and find them.

"She is outspoken against President Donald Trump on social media, asserting that a vote for his re-election in November is 'an act of violence' against her and her 'LGBTQ+ BIPOC' family."

Why does Andy Ngo uphold this ridiculous narrative?

You mean he's exaggerating her concerns? Or that he's characterizing her concerns as exaggerated?
