it was fun to read this piece and think about all the praise and acclaim sullivan has received for being a sharp, clear thinker. it makes you wonder what the hell those people were talking about?

His particular dumbness is caused by solipsism rather than a defect in raw brain power but in the end it doesn't matter. The guy can't think his way out of a paper bag.

Hard to put myself in the mind of a person who would write more sentences after this
I'm sure he'd get a solid response from all his ideological allies.
well it had a long shadow for it made a dozen peoples plus … it made their careers occur
I had a good friend who was transgender & suffered all his life. I don’t think we accurately portray the struggles that trans people face.

His villain origin story is that a putatively liberal government shutdown his special school when he was 16, and has been holding a grudge since. Like Thatcher would spend money on society!
Sullivan only cares about his rights - he’s never been supportive of lesbian issues - and this lengthy piece isn’t really about children, it’s about removing bisexuals and trans from the movement.
Miss reading his stuff
Always liked him.
It’s the equivalent of “keep the government hands off my Medicare” Kentucky seniors

But I won't read anything else. Its mostly poisonous.
He refuses to hear how much pain his writings have caused or that they feed the fear and hate that facilitated Trump's fascism.
Those two sentences are literally his entire ethos.

#HappyPride, I guess?
If the LGBTQIA+ community is safely out and proud, I know it's probably okay to be a cis-het white person amongst them as long as I'm not also a raving bigot...
And the places where that’s still a draw are full of bigots and racist so he’s playing for the crowd that shows up.
