Dear Mona Charen -

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for making the Cass Report your "highlight of the week". Sadly, I have to say, be prepared for a deluge of hate mail, perhaps even death threats. Already this morning, there was a comment on the pod's page in the Substack from a subscriber who thinks some people might not feel "safe" because of people who don't agree to participate in his (her? their? xer's? its?) delusions.

In case you hadn't already seen it, here's a link for a recent article in The Spectator with a brief but accurate summary of the issues raised by the report: https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-cass-report-should-end-the-puberty-blockers-scandal-for-good/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=CampaignMonitor_Editorial&utm_campaign=BOCH%20%2020240412%20%20House%20Ads%20%20AC+CID_5f830440efa29b7b71098b56cb69b0f7

I won't take your time cataloging what I see as the most dangerous lies of a preposterous ideology whose lobbying has been well funded by a couple of billionaire fetishists. My own interest in the controversies is as an 80 year old gay man who sees the hard-won advances of the last four decades toward gay equality in peril of going down the drain because of the 𝘢𝘯π˜₯𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘡𝘒𝘯π˜₯𝘒𝘣𝘭𝘦 backlash against the outlandish demands of the radical trans ideologues. I spent too much time attending the rallies, too much effort marching in the parades, and most of all, invested too much of my emotional resources speaking to not entirely friendly audiences to see the accomplishments of so many people like me being lost, all because of the nonsense a bunch of postmodernist academics in the Grievance Studies and English Literature departments of elite universities are demanding with the support of a couple of very rich men

Being gay was once considered a delusional ideology
