Nellie Bowles on How the Revolution Went Mainstream | The Good Fight with Yascha Mounk
Nellie Bowles is a writer and reporter and the head of strategy at The Free Press, where she writes the TGIF column. Her book is Morning After the Revolution: Dispatches from the Wrong Side of History.
In this week’s conversation, Yascha Mounk and Nellie Bowles discuss how she came to chafe against the institutional culture of The New York Times and why she left; how new power hierarchies arose within media and institutions where small groups came to wield outsized power; and how the transformative ideas about power and society that became dominant in 2020 continue to hold great influence.

    Some comments criticise the interviewer for seeming to shed Helen's articulate and intelligent arguments without probing deeper, either to expose faults or reinforce their accuracy. And they have a point. I prefer to think that he chooses to remain, or appear to remain dispassionate and thus neutral. But no one is ever really neutral ré trans activism so Mounk comes off as mechanical, indifferent and cool. Fortunately Helen is the opposite.

    So interesting. It is the take over of institutions that are comfortable with themselves. You can see it at the local level - take over of local groups, local politics etc by a small group of people with extreme views using new tech to amplify their message (dumbed down so it sounds super moderate), and to organize others. These folks are often ridiculous extremists who actually are parroting the ideas of others. Often unrelated to local interests and needs. And the labels-- oy. Someone else defines you.

    This guy seems to think that ‘trans’ is even a thing. There are no rights that people who call themselves ‘trans’ don’t have. The demands of these people (men) trample all over the rights of women, & therefore have no weight. ‘Gender dysphoria’ is a chimera. It doesn’t exist as a condition for children who don’t already have other psychological conditions. Trans’ is non-existent for children and is fetishist transvestism and/or autogyneohilia for adult males.

    The way the self id law in Germany is framed is just the usual gaslighting. “It doesn’t affect you”. In essence, since the Transsexuellengesetz came into force in 1981 (I think), and the Gender Recognition Act in 2004, women are no longer recognised in law. Because ‘woman’ now means ‘has the letter F in a document’. OF COURSE that affects women. And when there are more and more men and it becomes ever easier for them to claim to be what we are, then the more we’re affected. We risk being sued for calling a man a man, because he has a piece of paper that declares him to be a woman. It’s misogyny on stilts. (And yes, men are also no longer recognised in law, but since they’re treated as the default anyway and need less special accommodation such as protected sports categories, the impact on them is much less critical)

    51:17 people empathised with HSTS men who quietly kept to themselves and the gay scene. Straight men’s Autogynephilia is a real threat to all children, girls and women in particular. The AGP group commits far more sex crime per capita than regular adult penis havers.

    @woman4womenkids547 Před 2 dny

    Proper psychology can assist people to come to terms with reality. Destroying and sterilising children’s bodies for rumination is outrageous. Men living as women impacts actual women. Boys claiming to be girls very adversely impact girl children and no one gives a damn about large gamete havers.

I loved hearing HJs answers to these questions especially with respect to how do we manage this in a pluralistic society. Much to think about.

    Trans people already have the same rights as every other person in the population (in western societies). And the claims the activists make about this and all the statements about hatred and violence are lies. A hallmark of transactivism is to manipulate language and tell blatant lies.

    Helen Joyce is a clear thinker and can pick through faulty arguments impressively well. She covers so much ground here. Her only fault, imv, is her feminism.

    So nochmal auf Deutsch zum Selbstbestimmungsgesetz: Was du nicht verstehst: das Hausrecht ist KEIN vernünftiger Kompromiss! Männer haben in Spanien bereits versucht in ein Frauenhaus zu gelangen indem sie sich zu Frauen erklärt und Zutritt verlangt haben! Man verlangt von Frauenhäusern diese Männer selbständig abzuweisen, sich gegenüber deren Drohungen zu wehren und evtl. Zuschüsse zu verlieren wenn sie keine Männer die angeblich Frauen sind rein lassen. Außerdem wird das neben des alten Namens mit bis zu 10.000 Euro bestraft. Wie soll man der Polizei oder wem auch immer akkurat beschreiben wer sich Zutritt verschaffen will wenn man weder Geschlecht noch Namen nennen darf?! Weder Polizei noch BKA werden über die Änderung informiert! Wie soll die Polizei Personen die untertauchen wollen finden?! Dieses Nonsens Gesetz hat dermaßen katastrophale Konsequenzen für uns ALLE!!! Es muss WEG. Hast du dich überhaupt tiefer damit beschäftigt?! So „close“ kann der Blick dann nicht gewesen sein!

  • @PattisKarriereKarten

    Yascha‘s book „The identity trap“ was great, so it astonishes me that he really doesn’t seem to understand that there really is no such thing as a legitimate trans person and the movement is also not legitimate because they consist of fetishists and other persons with an agenda that has nothing to do with equal rights. The first group was basically made trans by society and the second group is a political totalitarian movement that wants power and push men’s rights to take out their fetish in public.
