Kara Dansky in a 2022 appearance on Tucker Carlson, the only major journalist on any channel who dared to interview a feminist critic of ‘gender identity’ at the time. She wore a shirt bearing the definition “WOMAN: noun / Adult human female” popularized by British ‘gender identity’ critic Posie Parker aka Kellie-Jay Keen

Democrats have a serious problem understanding the opposition they face on issues related to ‘gender identity.’ Their mental model of the phenomenon is broken because it ascribes all opposition to the Republican Party and evil designs drawn up in prayer-filled backrooms. This caricature is false and misleading. It does not help Democrats to understand the real world, or to win elections.

Every opponent of the state taking children away from families in the name of their ‘gender identity’ is explained away as a bigot. Every opponent of male bodies in female sports is dismissed as a right wing reactionary. Women who object to naked male bodies in their restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, gym showers, and prisons: these women are all exactly the same as white supremacists, to Democrats.

But in reality, the opposition to ‘gender identity’ originated on the left. Kara Dansky and I have the receipts. We were warning Democrats all this time. They know we exist, but we were not supposed to exist, so Democrats still pretend we don’t exist. Until they acknowledge us, and face up to the reckoning over ‘gender identity,’ Democrats will remain out of power, no matter how bad the Republicans get.
