What a lonely and painful journey down you describe so beautifully. I'm someone who started to tumble to this hell because of writers like you Eliza, not because of personal experiences with friends identifying as trans or sweating in a library doing original research. I had the support of one dear friend to go on the journey with me. It was gradual, as the news articles that seemed credible were very scarce, just a few years back. There was almost nothing on the right OR the left in the US. I found UK feminists as my first guide. Like so many, I lost friends and social status when I started to speak up, but it's been ok really. It would have been a worse hell to stay silent. So I am deeply appreciative of your path and the gifts of your thoughtful writing. Now that there is a crack in the media, there will be new challenges, even as the hellish truth of the matter is FINALLY being allowed to be aired. Watch the panel on last week's Bill Maher if you haven't, with Ari Melbourne. He doubles down on the whole "civil rights issue" to defend the left-wing media, and I expect to hear more of this. His argument is that because the media was sexist that and racist covering past civil rights movements, that they have tried to course correct. It' just a new smoke screen--this has never been a civil rights movement.
My husband and I haven’t watched last week’s Bill Maher yet, but ugh, Ari Melber is going to drive me nuts. I was a rabid MSNBC addict for years but I can’t stand it now, or NPR. No civil rights movement I recall depended upon society affirming people’s false self-perceptions of themselves.
I’m still recovering from listening to Jill Filipovic on Andrew Sullivan’s podcast. Another elite feminist eager to deny the negative impacts of gender ideology.
