A writer at feminist blog Jezebel has inadvertently revealed another secret avenue journalists from across several prominent media platforms use to collude narratives.

The Jezebel story, headlined “Private Messages Reveal the Cis Journalist Groupthink Behind Trans Media Narratives,” intended to challenge a prominent writer for the Atlantic who specializes in transgender issues. But it ended up revealing that even impeccably well-credentialed liberal academics and journalists are totally fed up with the hysterical, anti-science, unsatisfiable, abusive trans lobby.

The closed listserv hosted on Google Groups and secretly leaked to Jezebel has existed for nearly a decade and has over 400 prominent figures in journalism, academia, and publishing as members, including award-winning reporters, New York Times writers, and contributors to the Washington Post.

According to Jezebel, which redacted names of the listserv members, the shadowy cabal’s “About” page says it is a “off-the-record discussion forum for left-of-center journalists, authors, academics and wonks.”

“These members include New York Times best-selling authors, Ivy League academics, magazine editors, and other public intellectuals—in short, a lot of important people who influence public discourse through their written work. They use the listserv’s forum to discuss current events, news from their respective fields, articles they’ve read, articles they’ve written,and other topics of public importance,” Jezebel reports.

Jesse Singal, the Atlantic writer and member of the listserv, caught the ire of Jezebel after publishing a story attempting a reasoned and academic approach to discussing transgender issues, particularly where children are concerned, and following several stories focusing on “desistance,” when people who at one time think they are transgender later realize they are not.

The Jezebel writer says he had “become deeply uncomfortable with the narratives [Singal] has centered” and calls Singal’s reporting unfair and opportunistic. “He has the support of a closed group of some of the most influential people in journalism, many of whom are currently lauding him for doing discredited and discrediting work,” Jezebel writes.

Yet in trying to expose transphobia in left-wing media, Jezebel inadvertently revealed that behind closed doors, some of the most prominent and well-respected figures in media and on the left have deep reservations about the trans-lobby’s narrative and seethe in private at the left’s culture of anti-intellectualism and mob-style outrage.

Jezebel, which is owned by Univision, notes there are no, or few, transgenders on the listserv, an issue that was brought up in discussions there, to which one “prominent futurist in progressive news media” responded, “I’m not interested in sharing this list or any other space with someone who is going to insist on nullifying and erasing my existence and experience as female.”

Boom.

Singal is no stranger to the leftist hate mob swarming him after publishing a story slightly critical of the trans narrative, another topic often discussed on the listserv. Jezebel called the listserv members’ responses to online trans-rage “dismissive.”

As Jezebel reports, conversations on the listserv included,

1. All citizens must have equal rights and obligations. (everyone is a slave)
2. The first obligation of every citizen must be to productively work mentally or physically. The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all. Consequently, we demand:
3. Abolition of unearned (work and labour) incomes. (ironic)
4. In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war demands of the people, personal enrichment through a war must be designated as a crime against the people. Therefore, we demand the total confiscation of all war profits.
5. We demand the nationalisation of all (previous) associated industries (trusts).
6. We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.
7. We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.
8. We demand the creation of a healthy middle class and its conservation, immediate communalization of the great warehouses and their being leased at low cost to small firms, the utmost consideration of all small firms in contracts with the State, county or municipality.
9. We demand a land reform suitable to our needs, provision of a law for the free expropriation of land for the purposes of public utility, abolition of taxes on landand prevention of all speculation in land.
10. We demand struggle without consideration against those whose activity is injurious to the general interest. Common national criminals, usurers, profiteers and so forth are to be punished with death, without consideration of confession or race.
11. The state is to be responsible for a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program, to enable every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education and subsequently introduction into leading positions. The plans of instruction of all educational institutions are to conform with the experiences of practical life. The comprehension of the concept of the state must be striven for by the school [[i]Staatsbürgerkunde] as early as the beginning of understanding. We demand the education at the expense of the state of outstanding intellectually gifted children of poor parents without consideration of position or profession.
12. The state is to care for the elevating national health by protecting the mother and child, by outlawing child-labor, by the encouragement of physical fitness, by means of the legal establishment of a gymnastic and sport obligation, by the utmost support of all organizations concerned with the physical instruction of the young.
13. We demand abolition of the mercenary troops and formation of a national army. (armed citizens)

Also, because the ***** ran on a socialist policy does not make socialism inherently bad.
