Not big names. They probably did the cause more of a service by leaving than staying, thereby proving how necessary it is.

Prolly more the dudes. She’s a trans woman.

Plus you can’t really rule out the possibility that the legion of women who have refused to have sex with you included some trans women.

He’s starting to notice some of the extreme positions of his fellow travelers and it seems to be making him nervous. That’s a good sign. (I see people retweet some of his tweets about it). I was wondering/hoping about Klein as well but I doubt he’ll break until they actually come for him.
And....

Be a saint and note the time on the podcast where he starts talking about it. So if it’s interesting we don’t have to listen to the whole thing.

I was surprised to see, browsing twitter about this, that trans folk think American politics is obsessed with them. The obsession is, in their mind, an obsession with hating them, but it's definitely all about them one way or another. Meanwhile, it's not my feeling that much of anybody gives them a second thought. There's only one oppressed group in America that actually matters politically. And I doubt that group is going to be locking hands in solidarity with the trans community any time soon.

I do. I give them many second thoughts, and they're all the same: Shut UP.
Okay, and also a third thought: I don't believe in transes. Everybody is what s/he was born as, period, end of the report. So, back to my second thought, Shut UP.

People were alarmed Tuesday to see a disturbing letter published in Harper Magazine which asked for a more tolerant atmosphere for dissenting viewpoints. The letter was followed by a list of signatories, which has been handed to Interpol, who are now trying to hunt down these dangerous individuals.
“I mean, these people say you should be able to disagree about things without fear for your life and your job,” said trans activist Kendra Chandler. “And they signed this letter along with people who think gender has something to do with biology! I feel unsafe just knowing these people are out there.”
This attack on progressivism -- suggesting people shouldn’t be terrified to say something different from what is currently considered progressive thought -- has shaken the Left, but they have vowed to punish everyone associated with it. Already a few of the signatories have been captured and have subsequently denounced ever thinking open debate is okay. Most of the signatories are still at large, though, and if you encounter anyone who wants a society capable of handling differing viewpoints, Interpol has created a hotline to call.
