Journalist and Yale Law School grad, Abigail Shrier, is the author of the book IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE, which is about minor females being sucked into the transgender craze.

Joe Rogan cut a very profitable deal to move to Spotify and it seems that almost immediately the children who work at Spotify want to censor Rogan for, what else? TRANSPHOBIA.

Shrier's extremely well-researched book on the exponential rise in Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria among adolescent girls, and her quite good interview with Rogan, is "transphobic" because they put forward the notion that some children currently demanding to be transitioned are caught up in a fad. A very dangerous and life-altering fad.

Woke media is seriously so dumb because they don't seem to realize that all this type of controversy does is publicize Shrier (and Rowling) work to those who wouldn't have been interested otherwise.

I'd never really had to think about the transing of kids until Joe Rogan endorsed Bernie Sanders and I kept on hearing the woke brigade calling for Sanders to denounce him because he was against puberty blockers for kids. That forced me to actually research puberty blockers (a better name would probably be brain destroyers) and then (instead of just thinking that trans people suffered from an illness but other than bathrooms and lockers and stuff that it was harmless to go along with their beliefs) I suddenly believed that trans ideology was a threat in and of itself.

That is great. That's what I mean about how some of our allies in our fight are so unlikely, like Joe Rogan.

Glad you're aware now and have joined us to try to stop these kids' lives from being destroyed.

Joe Rogan, who has been pushing the lies about Antifa setting forest fires in Oregon, despite the fact that every state agency involved in the fires has zero evidence to this and never did, and has been actively trying to shut down the dangerous rumors which have caused traffic checks by vigilantes, who are ready to assault anyone found with gasoline inside their vehicle. This is the volatile Joe Rogan.

Yeah, I know. I have huge issues with Rogan. And I also hate how men seem to treat him like their version of Oprah (sorry, not a fan of her either) and hang on every word he says, no matter how ridiculous.

I actually like his shows when his guests are scientists: when he has a guest on who's discussing something way beyond his ken, he lets the guest talk. I don't think he's a bad interviewer, because he asks the "dumb" questions the layperson would ask an expert, and most of us are laypeople when discussing science.

Yeah, I agree with this. And yeah to the Oprah part.

He already posted a video apologizing for this mid information and stating he was wrong so you’re being a little alarmist.

Well, I read this in Time Magazine, so I doubt I'm being alarmist. I just reported what I knew at the time. And because he's apologized, doesn't mean it wasn't ignorant and very wrongful in the first place.

Yea I do think this information does strongly weigh against the implications of your statements about Joe Rogan since the point you seemed to be making was that he is no ally.

Being able to admit you’re wrong, retract and apologize are definitely the qualities you want in an ally. Shows you prioritize learning what’s true and right over being right yourself.

Jkfinn, what? You think Time Magazine is reliable, "balanced" journalism?

It's owned by ultra-woke Silicon Valley tech titan Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, a billionaire SJW and huge trans activist. He's a major player in of the campaign to use "inclusivity" and "fairness" to roll back girls' and women's privacy, dignity and safety in favor of "trans rights." He was a major funder of the fight against the pro-female bathroom bills in NC and elsewhere.

Benioff is a major backer of the ACLU and its campaign to open up female sports to males with cross-sex "gender identity" claims, and to have male convicts placed in prisons based on their professed gender identity.

Is there any way you could catalogue all this information and put it onto a website?

Maybe ask an existing GC website to host it?

I just hate to think that if this sub gets shut down all this valuable information will be lost.
