Brilliant @nypost piece by the brilliant @benappel outlining just how regressive the so-called progressives are when it comes to protecting gender non-conforming kids. @ZohranKMamdani's "gender-affirming" policy proposals are homophobic and Iran-approved.
For the New York Post, I wrote about how "gender-affirming care" is the Iranian regime's dream come true. https://t.co/IYs27etFCC

Mamdani’s “gender-affirming care” plan surgically erases gays — just like Iran https://t.co/j5MbxSwp3P

Great article from @benappel - pointing out how Mamdani’s pledge to invest millions in “gender affirmative care” will virtually “trans away the gay” - obviously deeply ironic, considering it’s the progressive left, the supposed supporters of gay rights, who voted him into office.

God, grant me the serenity to explain my position calmly when people who don’t know anything about pediatric gender medicine send me antagonistic DMs.

Mamdani champions a worldview that mirrors the strategy Iran follows to surgically erase gay people. @benappel calls out the misguided progressive efforts to "trans the gay away" in a new @nypost op-ed. https://t.co/N0uh7rJHzD

The New York Times reported last month on the dire situation for gay people in Iran, where homosexuality is punishable by death. Many are pressured to undergo brutal reassignment surgeries to live...

One of many things I loved in Ben's book Cis White Gay was his point that gender-non-conforming men and women are a natural part of both sexes. To pathologize and then medicalize what is completely natural and normal is dystopian and cruel. Along those lines, his reporting on

@JDVance What is excellent hard-hitting exposé about the end result of mamdani's supposedly progressive policies. How anyone in America can ignore the UK Cass report is hard to fathom. Only our country seems to be driven

THIS is gender ideology.
'I feel sorry for your children...' 'Well I think you're borderline evil.' @BenLeo444 gets into a fiery clash with founder of https://t.co/1iyYqZN8uz Dr Helen Webberley, confronting her on support for prescribing puberty blockers to children and more.

Great episode of @TheUnspeakeasy with a gay man (@benappel) who went from a "strict Christian sect to progressive activism" and uncomfortably realized how similar they are. https://t.co/SsmzGNwrUT

Thank you for this wonderful review of my book. Means so much to me.
I'm about halfway through @benappel's memoir, [Slur] White Gay, and I want to give some thoughts and a resounding recommendation to get it and read it. [I have to filter the title of Ben's book because this useless app throttles the actual title. X is one more bad decision away

Listen to Maud.
Just finished this brilliant memoir by @benappel. Chapter 24 recounts a school board meeting I invited Ben and others to speak at in hopes of increasing the viewpoint diversity around gender in our district. Ben is a true raconteur and thoughtful cultural observer. 1/

In 2016, when Trump came along, all the Democrats had to do was be normal. They failed. In 2020, when the left officially lost its mind, all Republicans had to do was be normal. They too are failing at this very simple task.
