    I know it’s fashionable these days to claim to be an introvert—something to do with an unwarranted assumption of depth, maybe—but I actually am an introvert. Small talk exhausts me, not because I believe it’s beneath me, but because it feels like being handed a socket wrench. I have no idea what to do with it.

    Holy shit, what a fucking nerd. Shut the fuck up.

        lol even that last part of that, like is she trying to play into the trope of, "women don't know how to fix things" or whatever with the socket wrench comment? They aren't complicated in the least, I wouldn't personally consider them harder thank just a regular screwdriver, just seems like a really weird way to make an analogy. Pretty sus to me she is trying to play into the "traditional gender roles."

        Also it seems like projection saying she doesn't think small talk "is beneath" her, who says that shit? I get not wanting to talk to people sometimes, but that just came off really terrible

    I despise journalists who talk out of their asses but think they're experts - not just the TERFs that do this. "More people are identifying as trans something weird must be going on!". Geez I don't know TERF, maybe now people feel being trans is more socially acceptable so they don't repress it anymore?

      She's very concerned with the rights of lesbians, but doesn't make the connection that this is exactly what people said about them when being gay started to become more accepted in society.

        Don't give them that much credit. They don't care about anyone's rights, only about destroying trans women. They'll collaborate with any bigot that hates them and throw any woman under the bus (woc in particular) if they have to.

    Maybe, just maybe, more kids are coming out because they are feeling more and more safe in society to live their authentic lives? And that previous generations have lots of unhappy closeted trans people who never felt like they could come out because it was so unsafe???

      Nooooo, that couldn't possibly be the case.

      It has to be some sort of evil conspiracy preying on our children. Definitely.

    These are the same high-anxiety, depressive (mostly white) girls who, in previous decades, fell prey to anorexia and bulimia or multiple personality disorder.

    Many suspect that all this transitioning of girls is effectively euthanizing a generation of young lesbians

    Imagine being such a vile piece of shit.

    Literally just read the very first sentence, "The day after I tweeted about the ongoing attempts to block sales of my book, Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters..." and stopped reading. That's the best I'll get out of this shit, because I heard enough already. Fuck terfs

    It will never not be funny to me how easy it is to pull off the, "I'm being censored/canceled" and still having a massive platform given to them almost immediately. That type of story sells so easily, and it's incredible how similar the situations all are. So many of them confuse criticism with being canceled, but they go on about freeze peach, without seeing the irony in complaining and trying to shut down people telling them how much they suck.

      She argues like her, too. Both try to lull you in with the same deep, theatrical dishonesty and faux self-deprecation, grab you and point you in the direction they desire with the same pretense of urgency, both shift the blame from themselves to their victims to prepare you for that craved mask-off moment that, of course, always comes with plausible deniability if you "view it in context" that they've just manufactured themselves.

      That's literally the only trick they know.

    Of course the picture is of her going on Rogan's podcast. Is there a transphobe he won't platform?
