First, if you’re curious about the movie “Will & Harper,” but either don’t have time or don’t want to watch it yourself, there is a helpful review by “The Lies They Tell” (@sarahstuartxx on X). The movie is about Will Ferrell and his friend Harper (formerly Andrew) Steele, who embark on a road trip. From the review: 

To set the scene, it’s after the pandemic, during which Steele had informed everyone that he was going to be ‘living as a woman’. We all know the drill by now, ‘living as a woman’ just means the dude grows his hair long, wears make-up and puts on a dress. Ferrell, sensing that he can create a narrative arc about his own kindness, endeavours to publicly indulge his friend of 30 years on this ego trip.

We have all the notes you’d expect to see, a shot of Steele’s bouncing high heel, supposed existential worries about being loved and a claim that he had been this way since a child but had always to suppress it. The letter Steele sent to Ferrell is read out, more or less in full I think, and it comes across as manipulative navel-gazing BS.

I’m going to take her word for it.


This is how I described the concept of “peak trans” in The Reckoning: How the Democrats and the Left Betrayed Women and Girls:

TERFs and our male allies use the phrase “peak trans” to mean the moment when liberals and progressives who have been going along with the “transgender” charade wake up and say, “Wait a minute, something isn’t right here.” Once liberals and progressives dig into the issue a little bit, we can see that the entire edifice is an authoritarian, sexist, homophobic nightmare that is harming women and children. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. That moment is “peak trans.”

A few things landed on my radar this morning that got me thinking about this, and it made me wonder about the “peak trans” stories of my subscribers. I’d like to hear them if you’d like to share! Reminder: only paid subscribers can comment and see each other’s comments.
