QUESTION“Why does Ben Shapiro have such a hatred for transgender people? At least once a week he reminds his listeners that boys cannot become girls and vice versa. Is it something about his religious orthodoxy?”ANSWERWe have listened to Ben Shapiro. We’re glad that YouTube videos have a “speed” function, so we can slow down that patter and hear him more clearly.We like him.Maybe it’s in his blood, so to speak, a cultural thing, but he is very serious about the truth. Science and philosophy are both about truth. This guy has a degree from Harvard Law, earned at age 23. He’s not dumb.We argue that Ben Shapiro has no animus toward transgender people. He is identifying a cultural disorder that he sees, that has claimed an awful lot of victims. People who suffer from gender dysphoria have real pain, real anxiety, and real mental issues, and they deserve some honesty because they are getting sold down the river by the so-called community that is supposedly there to help and support them.We were very distraught to learn about a young boy who was being treated for hearing loss. He was adopted by parents who had been deaf since birth. They were teaching him sign language. The doctor recommended the boy be fitted with cochlear implants. The parents were distraught. They opposed this procedure near-violently. “Joel should grow up deaf like us! He should not reject his community!”People have the right to raise their son deaf?Next week, we’ll hear about illiterate rights.The truth about gender is, it’s not your feelings. You have a [REDACTED] because that’s how nature expresses the male gender in a human being. You can go to a doctor and have them [cut it off] and you’re still a guy. You can get fake [REDACTED] and a fake [REDACTED] and you’re still a guy. None of that makes you biologically a female, and you cannot obligate Ben Shapiro to call you a female.Part of the Fake News Revolution out there, or political correctness, or whatever, is to either shut down or suppress the truth. A university president recently said that women’s brains and men’s brains are not identical in function, which is physiologically true, and the student groups screamed, and he had to leave the university.Someone has to argue against that [horse hockey].Leaders of academia should not have to parrot popular lies instead of the unpopular or politically-incorrect truth.You can look all around you. The mainstream news media is fake. Academia is subdued by political correctness. Both of them are fortresses of leftist activism. And what about social media? The alphabet gurus that run search engines and these social media platforms can “disappear” you if you don’t tow the line, using the algorithms. The 21st century Chinese social scoring system is already here — obey or be demonetized, de-ranked, or deplatformed.All the stuff that the Constitution says government cannot do to you because of protected speech — the Fake News revolutionaries can do, and are doing.YouTube can apparently demonetize your video for using certain words, while Facebook can block your posts if their assessment shows that your remark about the ChinaVirus is not true. Millions of doctors are scrambling about, trying to figure out the behaviors and nuances of this virus, and all viruses can mutate, there are different strains —- but Facebook knows all the answers. Facebook has the ability to grade your paperwork and flunk you out before you can infect anyone else with your wrong answers. And don’t get us started on Quora.They’ve got you believing [bullcrap]. They’ve conditioned you to where you no longer employ critical thinking, Oh, no, they cannot allow diversity of thought. No way. No, that has to be shamed and bullied and punched out of you.Laura Schlessinger (“Dr Laura”) got a television show 20 years ago; they (the politically-correct leftwing folks) got it taken off the air in one year. She’s been on the radio for something like 45 years, because the leftwing folks have little control over the radio. They nearly succeeded in 2009.They took down Alex Jones: you probably didn’t care, or maybe you approved, because he’s such a firebrand. Ann Coulter has been banned from college campuses, people have tried to assault her on stage, and she is savaged by the left. She has made the New York Times Bestseller List more than a dozen times with her books, yet they haven’t reviewed one of her books to this day.It should bother you when Twitter censors the President’s tweets concerning the ChinaVirus; it should bother you an awful lot, because you deserve to hear the President’s remarks, even if you don’t agree with him.It should bother you very greatly that the World Health Organization, whose leadership was placed by the Chinese government, whose track record in this area is spotty at best, is considered the repository of irrefutable fact.The culture has turned against us, and we argue that it has turned against you. This Cancel Culture thing we have going now is terrible. It does not help you in any way. It is very dangerous to have knowledge and information suppressed.Hope this helps.
