[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Chaya is ridiculous and awful but objectively in that interview she comes across smarter and better prepared than Taylor. I am surprised you linked it, OP. It is Taylor who looks awful. [/quote]

When Taylor asked Chaya why she felt trans people were "dangerous", Chaya could only respond with "it's a lie".  If Chaya can't even defend her positions to basic questions, how is coming across as smarter or better prepared than Taylor?  [/quote]

I don’t know, that bit just felt like useless grandstanding responding to useless grandstanding. In contrast, Taylor’s lack of preparation with respect to the books was pretty bad. Tayor didn’t know them, hadn’t looked at them, and came across as wildly unprepared.

So I think Chaya was not that great at handling the questions that looked overtly like ideological traps, but Taylor looked unprepared for actual facts and hard examples. Overall that means Taylor comes across a lot worse.

Obviously people can disagree but I don’t understand why liberal social media commentators are circulating this. It comes across as desperate and just promotes Chaya as sounding like the rational and fact-based one. To people outside of the extreme progressive online bubble who actually watch the interview, Chaya sounds level-headed and prepared with facts that Taylor couldn’t refute.

But, to be fair, I think a lot of the audience for the liberal social media commentators don’t expect their followers to actually watch the interview, so they are probably just building their own brands. [/quote]

I'm curious how you think asking someone to defend what they believe is considered "grandstanding"?  After all, Chaya has made no secret of her hatred of the LGBTQ+ community, so she should have no problem providing clear and concise answers that demonstrate her point.

As for the book, Taylor was asking Chaya why she was so against these books and Chaya, and Chaya asked if she read these.  I actually think Taylor gave a pretty nuanced response on why sex education is important, and Chaya's response was to lie and say that books like Gender Queer are being passed out to elementary school students.  It's not.   [/quote]
