Cancel culture and social censorship only work as long as people are willing to go along with it and too afraid to challenge it. Truth is a wonderful gift to a world that has been deceived.
A few days after the election, a CNN panelist Shermichael Singleton caused a minor stir on set by referring to boys as boys. Noting how Trump had tapped into a big concern for parents, Singleton said, “I think there are a lot of families out there who don’t believe boys should play a girls sport.” Immediately, a co-panelist at the table attempted to silence the point, snapping, “They’re not boys. I’m not going to listen to transphobia at this table!”
What happened next was, for a mainstream media outlet, remarkable. Host Abby Phillip interrupted the interrupter, and asked Singleton to continue his point. Clearly, the one who attempted to silence Singleton was under the impression that an accusation of bigotry and hurt feelings was all it would take to shut down his opponent. However, the rules had changed, and he had to sit there and listen.
It’s unlikely that this exchange would have unfolded in this way a year earlier, but people are losing their fear of speaking out against the trans-revolution. Last year’s “Pride Month” seemed toned down, not because business owners had a moral conversion, but because they looked at their bottom lines and social media posts from their customers. Of course, those posts were visible because Elon Musk bought Twitter, changing it from a platform where users were cancelled, to one where, for good or ill, people could say what they wanted.
Perhaps the most important part of this story is that reality doesn’t change for ideology. Things changed when the reality of transgender procedures—hormones, amputations, and chemical castrations—became more widely known and when enough daughters lost scholarships, awards, and privacy. To put it simply, there is truth, and it is knowable. The Cass Report, the WPATH file leaks, and a few other research reports made the truth about who we are as male and female more widely available.
