15 transphobias in ‘Trans Totalitarianism’
Rod Dreher’s August 2022 article in The American Conservative. Low on facts, high on transphobia. Here’s how we recognize that the perspective is transphobic. And here are 15 specific pieces of nonsense.
Richard Dawkins is stuck with a transphobic podcast
Indulge transphobia long enough, and it becomes part of who you are. People standing up to announce themselves as transphobes, even when their viewpoint wasn’t asked for, is one social consequence of transphobia.
New ‘New Atheist’ cry: There is no trans
Yes, Dawkins did fall down the transphobia rabbit hole. QED. The New Atheists used to insist there is no god. Now Dawkins mainly insists there is no trans. People asked me to prove he was transphobic. Here it is.
Pamela Paul isn’t sympathetic to trans adults either
Yes, Republicans threaten the rights of trans adults. No, I don’t believe Pamela Paul really cares. Is there any specific legal right, specific type of access to resources, or specific type of respect she believes we should have? Tell me if you know.
Why this trans person is tired of Pamela Paul’s columns

How to argue transphobically that you’re not transphobic
Pamela Paul’s most recent NYT op-eds. People are signing a letter asking the NYT to stop being transphobic, but the NYT keeps publishing Pamela Paul’s disparaging drivel against trans people.

Pamela Paul’s latest transphobia
‘Let’s Say Gay’ isn’t about the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law. A transphobe has done a public transphobia. Pamela Paul doesn’t want lesbian, gay, and bisexual people to work together with transgender people.
One kind of transphobia: Imagining cis-phobia
A cis person discusses sex/gender, yet it’s not OK when a trans person does it? Today’s NYT op-ed shows us, yet again, what transphobic discourse sounds like. Within hours, the rhetoric was tweeted by everyone and their ham sandwich.
