Edit: This thread is now kind of confusing because Peter shared this article too, but more forcefully and on closer reading it is more thoughtful than the title suggests, leading to Peter’s comment being downvoted. Most of the discussion is under peter’s comment and my comment here is basically irrelevant.
(If I recall correctly, @Austin said Hanania had changed his opinion slightly on trans people since talking to some at manifest last year—manifest probably has a large trans overrepresentation—and this is good, I want a way back for Hanania. LIkewise I have seen less overt racism from him in the last year, but I’m not yet at the state where I want him as a lauded speaker. He could at least write an article saying he’s changed his mind on this and the racist tweet about Jordan Neely)
Edit: While this is what Peter was referring to, on closer reading, I think it’s kind of inaccurate to say that Hanania is really endorsing his title. Therefore my original comment was not the level of accuracy I aspire to. Sorry.

This feels like an unfairly harsh comeback but:
