Very normal for National Public Radio to praise a book where—as the author charmingly phrases it on his Twitter account—"J.K. Rowling dies screaming."
How did a beloved children's author become a cartoon villain, spun into such horrendous fictions? At least Manhunt—unlike the rest of the grotesqueries circulating about Rowling—will be shelved in the fiction section.
And of course it’s all because Rowling wrote a letter—a letter anyone with an Internet connection can read and judge for themselves—where she voiced sincere concerns that anyone who has turned over a few rocks shares: why do we see such an explosion in teenage girls presenting with gender dysphoria? Why are we prescribing the same drugs to gender-nonconforming kids that we use to chemically castrate sex offenders? Did gender clinicians unwittingly stumble upon a new way to medicalize homosexuality (the evidence says yes: e.g., Dutch studies found 97-100% of female patients were same-sex attracted)? What does reinstating taboos on women's speech and organizing have to do with protecting trans rights? Just because these questions don’t have reassuring answers doesn’t mean it’s wrong to ask.
It will never cease to amaze me how women like Rowling have been monstered for dissenting on this issue—or even just for saying: This issue is a lot more complicated than we're pretending it is. I've never seen anything like it.
The entire situation is horrifying. The way the left-captured media have simply gone along with -- and promote -- this destructive religion, including the wholesale character and career cancellation of "heretics," is terrifying. I never would have expected to see the casual acceptance and condonation by politicians, journalists, and others of the monstering, violent imagery, and outright threats directed at people who refuse to bend the knee to this insanity.
This whole thing will not end well. The truth will come to light eventually and here we go ...another medical scandal...opioids, repressed memories, lobotomies.
