I know exactly how you feel. I feel exactly the same. The infiltration and the influence they hold in those organisations is frankly ominous. For the life of me I can't understand why people like Amy Goodman have gone along with this when there is so much big money behind this. The money interests alone should make people pause and ask questions.

I know! After the infamous NATURE "Sex is a Spectrum" article I don't know whether to believe NATURE when I read COVID articles. All these formerly respected science publications have lost all credibility by jumping on the trans train.

RE Amy Goodman and Democracy Now!

I've heard from people who work at Pacifica (the "independent" radio network that airs Democracy Now!) that Amy Goodman is a "bare-knuckled fighter" who basically used Pacifica to develop and launch Democracy Now! while managing to retain all rights to the show, and now Pacifica owes Democracy Now! and Goodman millions that it's struggling to repay. The network is struggling to remain on air, while Goodman rakes in $$$.

So, no, Amy Goodman and Democracy Now! being a shill for Trans, Inc., is no surprise to me.

But honestly, I have never seen anything like the astroturfing the trans lobby has managed to achieve in terms of US media. I can't think of one mainstream outlet that's broken ranks...

Amy Goodman know how to pick her battles. At the end of the day she's a chickenshit when it comes to trans. It's not possible that she doesn't understand the issues or the implications. She knows that if she ever pronounced herself publicly as GC, if indeed she is, she would be deluged with an onslaught of hate, she would be deplatformed and would lose funding, position and status. She would probably lose her pension as well since KPFA is basically some type of collective. In short her entire community would turn against her. I held hope that she's biding her time but now I'm not so sure. There would have to be a massive change of opinion on the so-called left for AG to actually do any real reporting on trans.
