E330. Confronting the Truth About The Trans Movement - Lisa Selin Davis

Bridget sits down with Lisa Selin Davis, author of Tomboy, who confesses to soft-pedaling some truths about the trans movement and activism in that book. Now, she’s working on a new project, unraveling the threads she was nudged to ignore and diving headfirst into the hot-button issues she was once told to dodge. They discuss the youth gender culture war, the absurdity of automatically labeling a tomboy trans, liberal institutions bowing to kids, the haunting tales of detransitioners, and “soft” cancellations that shut doors you didn’t even know were there. They also cover being freelance writers, f*cking up their lives, leaving the liberal bubble, their inability to swallow dogma, the future of the heterodox braintrust, failing the “moral purity” test, and why most people aren’t willing to reassess their entire worldview.
