Transphobia is a form of denialism
We have to counter Holocaust denial, and also transphobia. Transphobia is an ideological lie. Certain arguments can identify and deconstruct it. (Transgender atheist Jews, by the way, also have humanities degrees.)
Hate-crimers and their pronouns
Ignore the Club Q shooter’s statement of gender identity. A homophobic, transphobic murderer says they’re what? Let’s differentiate good-faith and bad-faith declarations, as well as reality and fiction.

Are we saving civilization yet? Brad Wilcox’s February 2024 book, ‘Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization.’
