I haven't commented on Jaycee's posts before but I will now.
I find her posts very badly written, especially for someone who supposedly writes for a living. Badly written because they are not "engaging" as you say, they are repetitive and tedious. She may as well just copy and paste her first post again and again, there is no difference in content. I could probably write her biography after reading one thread. If you want to educate or convert an audience it's best not to bore the shit out of them.
I find her, as personified by her posts, incredibly patronising and for all the appearance of supposedly "understanding" people with another viewpoint she doesn't. She wants everyone to accept her opinions, thoughts and feelings without paying anyone else the same courtesy.
Amen to that I recall trying to plough my way through a couple of Jaycee's tracts - gave up half way through, both times.
I think a willingness to invest time reading lengthy posts must surely also depend on the degree of interest in the topic being discussed. For example, I willingly read every single word Cally's Mum posts in the Charlie Gard thread (whoever Cally is, they're lucky to have a Mum like that )
Whereas, tbh, I have almost zero interest in transgender communities, the trials and tribulations of their relationships/sex lives, or their progress pre and post their gender reassignment surgeries.
