Kenneth Zucker
Blair White*
Walt Heyer
Paul McHugh
James Cantor
R. Blanchard

Remember these names. If you see these names, shit is about to go down. Any organization that allows these people to soeak at their event is either very ignorant or willfully platforming a massive transphobe.
These are horrible people. They lie, they publish bad ‘research’, they promote abusive therapies. They have all been discredited a thousand times yet they continue to get invited by media and conferences desperate for a transphobic ‘expert’ to hide their bigotry behind.

*Blair White doesn’t claim to be a scientist so if you count transphobic pseudo-scientists, yeah it’s literally five people

This post got spread around a lot more than expected and oh boy are a lot of people thinking they have a ‘gotya’ by pointing out that Blair White is trans.

A trans person can spread horribly transphobic ideas and that person will eagerly get echoed and given a platform by cis people who have been waiting for a trans person to be their puppet.

With hindsight, I wouldn’t have put her in between 5 scientists, I’d put her on a separate list of social media bigots. But she’d be on the list just the same.
