How social media trans "pile ons" have pushed Glinner and JKR into an echo chamber that reinforces a sense of fear and threat article claims

The irony of someone who clearly lives in their own echo chamber claiming that people who dont share his views have been radicalised by echo chambers.

The writer who is Deputy Head of Social (whatever that means) does at least recognise that trans pile ons dont work. But rather than acknowledging that the pile ons just confirm that TRAs are hostile to women's sex based rights, he says the reaction "is not normal behaviour, and belies an unhealthy fixation on an issue that we typically see from radicalised individuals."

"Just as importantly, we must recognise the role we all play in perpetuating this cycle. It may feel morally ‘just’ to call out someone’s indiscretions to a wide audience, but even well-meaning posts can be radicalising when passed through the corrupting prism of social media.

"In some cases, this corruption may be too deep-rooted to tackle. It’s hard to see how the likes of Linehan can return to a more balanced – and less vicious – place on trans rights given how far he’s fallen."

(It says you can comment but I cant see where. What I dont understand, even though posted as "opinion" someone can label someone else corrupted and worse.)

The total lack of self-awareness in everything touching this garbage makes me want to tear my hair out.
