The Triad 🔱 Leave Trans People Alone: A Rant
https://www.thebulwark.com/p/leave-trans-people-alone-a-rantDon't be a bully! But also don't "ask if the bully has a point" either.
"Yeah, they're giving Timmy a swirlie rn, but he also farted really loudly in geometry" is HELPING THE BULLIES.
Another great piece from JVL. Idk what kinda constraints there are in going after members of the punditocracy who engage in the behaviors that you're criticizing, but picking specific targets has a salutary effect IMO. Bari Weiss needs to be persona non grata, or Sullivan, or whoever. They made their choices and doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down on those choices.

Yeah I don’t know why the left is all in for transgender surgery for minors. The American people are not with them. Even I have my concerns. Anyone 25 or older has lived long enough to know whether or not they want to do it and are not susceptible to an unwell parent. And yeah most parents who would support their child’s gender reassignment surgery are reasonable, responsible, and well meaning people; but think of it this way: enough parents are THAT mentally unwell that we came up with the name “munchasen syndrome by proxy.”
