Did Anyone Ever Believe Men Could Become Women?
New American Prophet ^ | September 27, 2025 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 09/27/2025 8:17:27 AM PDT by Rev M. Bresciani

Did anyone ever really believe that men could become women? ‘Tipping Point’ author Malcolm Gladwell helped answer that question when he recently apologized for publicly asserting that men could change sex and fairly compete against women in sports because he was “cowed”.

No one bothered to follow up with the more interesting question, ‘What is Malcolm still too cowed to say in public’? It’s a question that also ought to be addressed to the various public figures, politicians, intellectuals and talkers, who have recanted the transgender heresy.

We know that they claimed to believe in one obviously wrong thing because of some combination of social pressure, manufactured consensus and intellectual incoherence.

What else do they hypocritically assert in public while privately doubting?

The intellectual crisis that led to Gladwell publicly asserting something that a small child, never mind a respected thinker, knew was wrong has its roots in the dual collapse of the western mind. Every preexisting moral and rational system, whether the Judeo-Christian ethos or the scientific method, is being dismantled as reactionary and is in the process of being replaced with the moral imperative of a revolutionary power shift from the oppressed to the oppressors.

This permanent state of moral emergency may not be questioned and its specific assertions are not subject to any of the religious or rational tests that once provided people with a consistent worldview based around clear principles rather than hysterical assertions that the crisis of the moment, ‘trans kids’, global warming, police shootings, Gaza or any of a grab bag of causes, is too grave to subject it to the rules of evidence in a search for the actual truth.

The point was never that the statement was true, it was that the people making it had the power to force us to. Or else.

No. They simply believed they could force the rest of us to say that a man could become a woman. They’ve been pretty successful in forcing us to live by their sensibilities in a myriad of areas for the last sixty years.

People believe that if you take drugs it will "open your mind".

People are stupid.

Mentally? Sure, I believe that effeminate males do exist, with some going to surgical extremes to represent themselves as such. There is a known history of these behaviors. The technology of implants and reconstructive surgeries have “improved.”

Cross dressing and Transvestism involves recurrent and intense sexual arousal from cross-dressing, which may manifest as fantasies, urges, or behaviors. Transvestic disorder is transvestism that causes clinically significant distress or functional impairment in one or more important areas of life.

The medical and psychology definitions clearly identify the symptoms.

Many have argued this foolishly. The article is interesting, though only re-posted here which does not allow Greenfield to seek support for his work. See below.

"Daniel Greenfield is a columnist, an investigative journalist and a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. My beat at Front Page Magazine, its blog, The Point, and my own blog, DanielGreenfield.org also known as SultanKnish covers everything from the Left's war on America at home to Islamic terror abroad." His original web page asks readers to support him by donations, sign up to receive his articles by email directly from him.

Did Anyone Ever Believe Men Could Become Women? Original article -- Daniel Greenfield / Sultan Knish

His blog states -- Click here to subscribe to my articles.

His blog also asks -- And click here to support my work with a donation.

The new American prophet does not include these, to support Daniel Greenfield.
