| 1624518972317044739 | @benryanwriter Benjamin—That is great inspiration and it makes me happy to see you and your hair looking strong. Best, Jamie P.S. I’m kind of hoping for more hair to come back—it would only be fair! | 279 |
| 1625918317822373888 | @benryanwriter I’m a bleeding heart liberal from the SF Bay Area. Coverage of this issue has made msm intolerable. I first tuned into Fox News to see an interview with @AbigailShrier , later to hear first-hand accounts of young detransitioners. @bariweiss gets it right: https://t.co/xM1db5enen | 63 |
| 1627045963054596097 | Hobbes deleted this, according to @benryanwriter, but he should REALLY apologize and explain what happened -- that it turns out the author in question *didn't* write that. I know that on Twitter there are no standards but the buck has to stop somewhere. What a hack. https://t.co/fmNLP1yd0N | 52 |
| 1625658219539447809 | @benryanwriter They allowed zero debate with the #dragshow bill sponsor, zero. We objected, they voted us down. Passed hate legislation with no discussion. Likely because you can’t defend hate! | 26 |
| 1627511905773588480 | @benryanwriter @JoyceCarolOates @reluctantlyjoe There's also a dramatic rise in the number of youths identifying as LGBQ even more so than trans youth. For some reason, you never talk about that. You're also forgetting just how many trans people in older generations we lost to HIV/AIDS. https://t.co/TNcZdRNPIp | 26 |
| 1624849680780722179 | @benryanwriter No -- that is not what he said at all. If you watched the full press conference, you'll see he acknowledged that government cannot do that. He proposed a private right of action for individuals who have been DEFAMED by media, with or without the use of anonymous sources. | 24 |

| 1627795829166850049 | @benryanwriter Have you asked why so many more youth are identifying as bisexual? Because it’s way more than the trans ratio cited here. The answer in both cases: it’s because they can. I for one am getting SO BORED with trans panic and would like to see some bi panic for once! (jk) https://t.co/XqRhcuO4hI | 16 |
| 1624484022880731136 | @benryanwriter @jamie_raskin Congrats! I'm a two-time survivor myself. | 13 |
| 1627802527726206977 | @benryanwriter @JoyceCarolOates @reluctantlyjoe I wonder if people are more likely to be who they are when they are not punished and bullied for it? 🧐 https://t.co/kLGyoaje2B | 12 |

| 1627502048630681601 | @benryanwriter @JoyceCarolOates @reluctantlyjoe how many trans people is too many trans people for you? what number would you like us to land on? In what world is 0.5 percent to 1.4 percent “dramatic?” Those are two very small numbers. | 707 |
| 1625903749087604753 | @benryanwriter @thrasherxy @edyong209 @nytimes Upset? We're not upset. This isn't a schoolyard. If you're a journalist, be a journalist. Honestly. | 609 |
