We Hunted The Mammoth
Jesse Singal has ostentatiously quit Twitter–at least for a couple of weeks, he promises–penning not one but two articles explaining this momentous decision. You can totally tell how much he simply does not care about this because he joked in his second piece that he was “writing this from prison. Internet Prison, which is the worst kind.”
Today, a glimpse into the mind of Michael Knowles, the Daily Wire host who caused such a stir last week by calling for the eradication of “transgenderism.”
Tennessee is known for passing more anti-LGBTQ+ legislation than any other state, with 26 such bills currently making their way through the state legislature. As state speaker, Republican Lt. Gov. Randy McNally presided over the passage of a recent bill banning gender-affirming care for minors, and another bill making drag performances a felony.
It’s not really about “protecting the children” at all, is it?
A man who was previously charged with hate crimes for spray-painting the word “groomer” on the front doors of two libraries during Pride Week has now been charged with seven counts of possessing child pornography.
The Daily Wire’s Micheal Knowles inspired alarmed headlines, and deservedly so, when he declared that “transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely” in a speech at CPAC on Saturday.
If someone were to call for Judaism to be “eradicated from public life entirely,” would you doubt their genocidal intent?
Alaska’s state government has quietly changed a policy banning discrimination against LGBTQ+ people, making it perfectly legal to deny queer people housing, loans, and government accommodations. A new report by ProPublica and the Anchorage Daily News uncovers the gory details of this recent policy change.
Last month, ex-New York Times columnist Bari Weiss published a melodramatic account of alleged abuses at a gender clinic in her online publication, the Free Press. The account, written by “whistleblower” Jamie Reed, a former case manager at the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, charged doctors and administrators at the center of pushing children into premature or unwarranted gender transitions and bullying parents and staffers who objected into silence or acquiescence to the allegedly abusive treatment.
When is trans genocide not trans genocide? When you define trans people out of existence before legislating them out of existence. At least, that’s the logic of Daily Wire brain genius Michael Knowles.
The war on drag queens continues apace. Last Saturday, members of the all-male neo-fascist gang Proud Boys tried to shut down a drag event at a DC area venue, physically attacking counterprotesters and leaving at least one bloodied, according to reports. Last year, there were 120 such protests of drag events in the US. The Proud Boys have been known to show up armed with handguns and assault rifles.
