Informed Dissent: Breaking up with NPR
This week, Lisa, Ben, Eliza, and Jamie chat about the Washington Post editorial board’s about-face on the science behind “gender-affirming care,” Helen Lewis’s Atlantic piece on puberty blockers, and Disney’s axing of a trans storyline from an upcoming Pixar series. Plus, Ben shares how he stumbled down the gender rabbit hole!
I have mentioned that I like hearing peaking stories. Maybe because I'm one of the many who didn't realize how bad the gender stuff was right away--it took some lightbulbs to go off!
This might be a stretch but it reminds me of stories of when people left the Communist Party during the 20th century. Some left when they realized Stalin was destroying leftists during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s. Then some left when Stalin and Hitler divided up Poland in 1939. Some left the party when they realized the Soviet Union was not a workers' paradise and that the show trials were lies. Others left when Khrushchev acknowledged it. And so on.
What will it take for people who have been committed to this gender medicine scam to realize that it's not what they thought they were standing up for?
