NPR, especially ALL THINGS TRANSGENDER, seems to have a hard on for Contrapoints. So call your local NPR station and say that you're pulling your contribution until they stop putting a man on to talk about issues from a woman's perspective.

No matter what this dude thinks, he, like every other transgender "woman" can simply change his appearance and his "oppression" disappears. Women can't.

And boyfriend can't be forced into pregnancy, much less reproduction, so tell NPR that Contrapoints is a biological APPROPRIATOR who's man-splaining womanhood and makes NPR seem about as credible as one of those AM radio shows with some crackpot preacher talking about how the Earth is only 600 (6000?) years old.

I'm guessing that NPR, like, apparently Democracy Now! and other far-Left Pacifica stations, is getting a lot of those Transgender Lobby dollars, because they're all spouting this crap.

At the end of the day, it destroys their credibility, so let them know it.

Nick is so cringey, I don't see how he has so many fanboys among the TIMs. I agree that this makes NPR lose credibility, a lot of it. It baffles me that people are dazzled by him arguing strawman arguments against himself with fancy costumes and wigs.

I stopped listening or donating to NPR since 2014.

Please tell NPR why you stopped listening and donating. It is important that the media be critiqued, especially by listener funders, and especially on this issue. Most of the media is now in cahoots with the trans lobby because of the tremendous amount of money they receive from the trans lobby.

This wall of pro-TRA propaganda makes the average person think that they're a Luddite for not understanding how men can be women just by saying they are, so it's important to put the media on notice.

I used to listen to Pacifica (US far-left radio) and NPR, but less and less, then not at all, because EVERY SINGLE TIME I turned on NPR there would be a trans "stunning & brave" topic. This was when I'd almost stopped listening to NPR so the amount of pro-trans propaganda was noteworthy.

Guess you have a point. I stopped for a completely different reason but I’ll write to them and let them know. Honestly though think they don’t care since they are tax funded as well and usually rely on large corporate donations. I used to listen to them exclusively but now don’t listen to them at all.

NPR is corporate and tax-payer funded (although tax-payer funding might be gone under the Trump administration? I don't know) but that funding also depends on them having an audience - no audience no funding.

And if you don't have the time to write, a call works too. Leave a voicemail with the station manager. Thank you!

Bunch of entitled rich white guys arguing how oppressed they are because to them woman is an idea. It would be hilarious if they also didn’t have the power to destroy our rights.

A bunch of narcissistic men arguing about women's lives like wearing dresses gives them the right to be any kind of authority on our experiences. I can't even put into words how uncomfortable it makes me when men like these have put so much effort into their "perfect sexy woman" disguise and look into the camera (with a dead-eyed stare and pumped up lips, open mouth) like they're human blow-up dolls. Appropriating (or attempting to, badly) womanhood while pandering to the male gaze for money, telling impressionable girls this is normal and what it's like to be a real woman.

I tried watching one of these things--AGP on Contrapoints. I did not last 30 seconds. All the trans and their validate me in the comments.

I can't even as the kids say.
