Linhan had the 60 minutes' detrans kids on his show.

For the past year my respect for Graham Lineham has been growing. He’s come a long way since 2017 back when he was pro censorship. Now he’s doing a lot of good work that most people are too chicken shit to do.

Isn't it usually the way that it goes - people are all about censorship until the mob censors them, and then they go, "Oh shit, this isn't cool!"

Some people like that continue to advocate for censorship of others. Graham Lineham learned a lesson and is now helping out a good cause.

Yes but we should encourage personal growth and learning from and admitting our mistakes. This is the path we need to encourage the TRA enablers to take.

Previous discussion post on the 60 Minutes segment being referenced: https://saidit.net/s/LGBDropTheT/comments/7xd8/60_minutes_episode_on_detransitioners_backlash/


From the article:

Rachel, a lesbian detransitioner, that was included in the 60 Minutes segment, wrote, “I’m going to attach a vague warning about this [60 Minutes] piece: This isn’t what it started out as. It has evolved into something else. But, hopefully, it still highlights some of the issues and gets people to talk more openly.” In response to GLAAD, she wrote, “You literally bullied your way into the detrans narrative until our voices were cut and silenced.”

And:

Despite the startling number of lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth coming forward, expressing so much loss, pain, and regret, organizations (that still claim to represent the L, the G, and the B), continue to ignore and silence our concerns. They’ve chosen to spin false narratives, fall back on buzz words, and pump out propaganda instead. The harm that’s been done to our community is immeasurable. The harm that’s been done in general, the staggering ripple effect, is unreal. This period in time, this horrific Orwellian chapter, will not age well. Someday, people will be shocked that they were ever sold on the idea of slicing off the sex organs of kids who don’t conform — it’ll seem as barbaric as scooping out a bit of the brain, and as cruel as electroshock therapy. The Age of the Transsexual Toddler will be a distant nightmare. But the eerie echo of feel-good propaganda will remain — a reminder of how easily humanity can be sold on the inhumane.
