Sometimes karma moves fast--transphobic radio hosts in Rochester, NY

25. Totally disagree.

If it's a problem with 'speaking in the employers name', then it will happen without all the constant tweets and calls for people to be fired. Since that isn't what happened, then its quite clear it isn't anything to do with speaking in the employer's name.

Social shaming is never and can never be the best medicine. Imagine if, right now, every single person who had spoken out against, say, corporate welfare were to be fired because of 'speaking in the employers name'. We'd come unglued about it and rightfully so.

To be fair, I can see the intent behind it and, fwiw, I do agree with the intent. But this is one of those tools that is simply too powerful, too destructive to be unleashed. It's great when the narrative is ours, but given that our fight is generally things that the narrative isn't for, we're handing our enemies the keys to our own destruction and crowing about how good it is. It's shortsighted imo.
