I hope Spotify calls their bluff and lets them all quit in protest. Their jobs are highly sought after and they'd be replaced immediately.

Imagine being a TRA handmaiden and coming home after quitting over a fucking PODCAST, looking around your house and realizing Oh shit, my woke brownie points aren't going to pay my rent this month.

Think any stunning and brave trans people are going to crowdfund for their handmaiden's living expenses? Nooo, they've got their own plastic surgeries to save up for!

The convo should go...

"We have hundreds of people waiting to do your job for less pay with no whining. Now tell me why you think striking is going to change jack?"

Meanwhile, there is only one Joe Rogan.

I for one will gladly take their place.

I remember when employees would strike for fair pay, benefits, a/o safer working conditions. But, this??!! Clown world.

If anyone had bothered listening to Abigail Shrier's interview, they would realize that both she and Rogan bent over backwards to support adult transitioners, but apparently SPOTIFY employees don't listen to podcasts (even thought that would be their JOB), or lack critical thinking skills, or both.

They know what she said. They count it as dangerous to admit that children shouldn't transition because it destabilizes the dogma that transition is always the 100% right decision for everyone.

Because if we start speaking up that teens shouldn't make these life-altering decisions, maybe those with autism (which number hugely among trans people) should also be safeguarded from rushing in to make their hyperfocus special-interest a surgical reality. And then what would the gender therapists, hormone peddlers and hack plastic surgeons do? Starve to death, I guess.

I read that as Gender Peddlers and thought, "RIGHT ON" - Gender Peddlers is a keeper! Thank you!

I've long used the term "gender vendors."

A gaggle of Gender Peddlers is basically what they all are!

Let's make Gender Peddlers happen!

Humor (and the gendxr movement abounds in things to laugh at) is one of the best ways to get to normies.

I'm sure the deal with Rogan has some whopping big penalty clauses.
