Very thorough...



There's a verse in the Bible about suppressing the truth in unrighteousness.

How many times does she mention instances where the truth is suppressed?

I've never been much of a Megyn Kelly fan, but her stock goes up a good bit with this piece....since she admits that she was part of the problem.

Though she was old enough to know better long before the madness got going under a full head of steam, wising up at 52 is better than never.

Thanks for posting this.

I watched the vid. She makes some interesting points. She does a pretty good job of laying it out with the background of the earlier parts of the trans movement.

The sports thing is probably what is going to be and seems to be the turning point for many people. It seems like the lunatic fringe of any group are the ones that just seem to take it too damn far. Then you have the creeps that take advantage of people's good will by going into bathrooms and being rather open about the fact that they are clearly men still. I think a person with legit dysphoria probably just wants to present as a woman and uses discretion in a restroom, many women probably would never even know. It's the crazies that pretty much ruin any movement to be honest.

I work with a trans woman and "she" is polite and professional, and you probably wouldn't know she is a bio man but whatever.

And we should care what Megyn Kelly thinks, because...?

That and more so the mutilation happening of young children with the greed and HUGE profiteering happening with hospitals and the new specialized clinics popping up everywhere.

Yeah - being destroyed with a volleyball can make one rethink things.

I think the progression she describes is probably the same reason a lot of people feel the same way, for a lot of different issues or "controversies" we're currently dealing with. People will abuse your sense of kindness to advance their cause, then when you finally put your foot down and take a perfectly reasonable stance, you will be called a bigot. It's like clockwork.

Yeah, over in the UK they've already started shutting down hospitals/clinics that perform these surgeries. It might take a while longer here, unfortunately there is a huge profit motive between the surgeries and all of the medications.

MEGA BUCKS $$$$$$$$ is what’s driving it. Millions being funded as grants and special funding. Big Pharma is making a fortune on all the drugs and hormones — surgeons, administrators, gender counseling,etc etc. I read of a whole new wing to one of the nation’s top hospital (I think it was John Hopkins) devoted to trans surgeries for children and teens.
