The more airtime you give the batshit crazy, the easier it is for people to see they are batshit crazy.

It was how McCarthyism died, they televised the interrogations.

CNN are the TV equivalent of the WaPo, worse even, so expect total dishonesty. So first they said yes, then no, then yes.

Let's see if they do that crap where they show him alone for no size comparison.

Biologically ignorant propaganda channel CNN has an audience that believes everything they say. That's the scary part. CNN viewers tune in to be told what to believe. This won't peak. It will only further indoctrinate.

The rest of us will be rolling on the floor and/or outraged, but the core CNN audience will just nod along.

I think this is true of political stuff, which is ultimately evidential stuff, stuff you can't know without witnessing it for yourself or being told what happened. It's very hard to arrive at the full, true story these days unless you are particularly politically motivated.

But this is Emperor's New Clothes shit - it's a ruse that our (everyone's) natural heuristics can detect. I think this will peak more people.

Especially if the media puts Rhys on camera next to a real woman, like Fox News did. In FOX's case it was Abigail Shrier, who looked like a tiny, china doll next to His Thighness.

Anyone watching that would have had to seriously lie to themselves to believe that men belong in women's sports.

The question confused me so much because now they are blatantly lying and calling trans women trans females? Excuse me but females are females sir and they don't have dicks.

This is why we call them trans women and let's be honest most of us are thinking trans "women". They are "other" women, you know not on the SAME side like they like to babble on about with "cis" people (being on the same side apparently).

A trans person who is also female is a trans man at best. This is why we never should have let them tinker with the language. Give them a trans inch they will take a trans mile!

You mean Veronica Ivy. It took me a whole day to realize that this ridiculously bond villainey named character was the one and only Rachel Mckinnon, who, not being popular or something, decided to change his name once again.

I suppose Rachel wasn't quite enough "sex worker" sounding for that AGP

I'm not a fan of 'Ronnie, but I'm not sure he's an AGP because the few times I've seen him out of his cycling outfits it looks like he dresses like a background extra in a mid-80s crime show.

Did you check out his CNN outfit? More secretarial than sexy.

I think he's a garden variety opportunist - he got a university teaching position and some cycling championships by LARPing as a woman - I think that was more the goal of his particular grift.

BEB, not all AGPs fetishize super hot young sexy babes. There is nothing about/associated with female people that one AGP or another doesn't fetishize. Lots of them are into fetishizing & pretending to be matronly women, elderly women, char women, nuns, Betty Thomas from Hill Street Blues & secretaries from yesteryear. What's arousing to these guys doesn't have to be obviously sexy & attractive to other people.
