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.

Yes judges throughout the country who punished fathers who tried to protect their sons from this craziness.

Neither can become the other. We’ve already been living through 60 years of women (who say they dont need men and can do everything better than men - what mental delusion right there) trying to be men, and it hasn’t worked at all. Kids are screwed up because of a parent not around at home, the workplace is a minefield, modern women have turned into relationship transactional narcissists, and while being given more choices and freedom in life options than men ever had, are the most unhappiest they’ve ever been and the most psychologically medicated (1 in 4) for depression/stress than they’ve ever been.

Only the insane and Democrat activists.
Plus legacy news media of course but that's covered by “Democrat activists”.

It’s time to plaster social media with scientific responses to the trans problem.
Let’s see how they really feel about free speech.

We are now slowly but surely entering the “what the heck were we thinking” stage of the Tranny driven bout with collective insanity.

Their other delusion is their cutesy "if you want talk hire a man, if you want to get things done hire a woman."

And I look around the world including my town and see houses, roads, power lines, cars, paved streets, etc. etc. all of which are here because of MEN.

The whole men can get pregnant, people can change their gender silliness was to warp the weak minded and cow everyone else. They KNOW those things to be false. Making you say those things are true is to force you to submit, and that’s the point. To humiliate and degrade you into saying such BS.

I’ve seen mental illness for a long time. Delusions of false beliefs. Types of schizophrenia, etc., etc. I never thought I would see individuals supporting/championing it. I never thought I would see doctors condoning it through operations to validate the mental illness. Mind boggling.

How could anyone be cowed into affirming something as wholly untrue as that?

What a gutless worm!

“””””And I look around the world including my town and see houses, roads, power lines, cars, paved streets, etc. etc. all of which are here because of MEN.”””””

Camille Paglia talks about that, this is a really great video that you may have seen and that anyone who hasn’t should watch, as she gives 14 minutes on men.

“Did Anyone Ever Believe Men Could Become Women?”

The crazies did, and still do.

I can remember over 30 years ago, constant Dem slogans directed at kids, things like “If you believe it, you can achieve it”, “Anything you can dream, you can achieve”, etc., and that wasn’t only about careers.

Nope. No one. Not even the overly nice supportive sorts. But play along they did, and will, until shot, by these very ill sorts.
