“Trans” is not a “far-Left” ideology Part 1

This post is being sent to paid subscribers only. As always, thank you for your generous contribution, which makes it possible for me to continue in the fight to protect the sex-based rights of women and girls and to stop the abolition of sex at the altar of “gender identity.”

EDIT: The original text of this piece said that “trans” is a multi-trillion dollar industry. I have been corrected and the piece has been edited to say that it is a multi-billion industry.

The other day I stumbled on this tweet from Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans. Ordinarily, I love their work and really appreciate the platform they provide to parents who want to talk (anonymously if necessary) about their struggles to protect their children from mutilation. I take issue with the tweet though: “We are sacrificing our children on the altar of a brutal, far-Left ideology.” 

The tweet is the title of this Jordan Peterson piece in The Telegraph. The piece is behind a paywall, so Peterson helpfully read it out loud on YouTube. Peterson didn’t use the title The Telegraph went with. Peterson’s title was “Butchers and Liars.” However, his first sentence is what The Telegraph chose as the title of the piece: “We are sacrificing our children on the altar of a malicious far-Left ideology.” 

The piece is an extremely powerful expose of our modern-day version of child sacrifice: “trans.” He doesn’t pull punches, and I appreciate his uncompromising commitment to saving children from this vile practice. I encourage everyone to listen to his reading of it. But I disagree that it’s coming from the “far-Left.”

“Trans” is a multi-billion dollar industry to enshrine regressive sex-stereotypes in law and throughout society. It may be the least “far-Left” movement I have seen in my lifetime.
