Ex-Muslim against antizionism & Jew-hatred. GC feminist. Published in anthology dissenting from trans ideology. LG(B). Opinions own. New profile; hi old moots!
I shared words as an ally, a private citizen, a native New Yorker, and an ex-Muslim who did NOT vote for Mamdani. I've been horrified by open Jew-hatred since Oct. 7. I stand with all who are committed to ending the scourge of antizionism. Thank you Tal S. for the video.
Someone I've known for twenty years lives a couple of blocks away. He is not a partisan, he does not post about the Middle East, and he is not the sort of person who chants anything.
Out of the blue, he asked me: "Do you think there's a genocide in Gaza?"
No, I told him. By every metric that matters — legal, historical, statistical — there is not.
He looked at me the way you look at someone who has just told you the earth is flat. Netanyahu wants to eliminate the Palestinian people, he said. Everybody knows that.
Not a study. Not a court ruling. Not a casualty figure. Just a thing everybody knows.
I have spent forty years as a reporter learning that "everybody knows" is where investigations begin, not where they end.
Tomorrow on Just the Facts: Genocide for Dummies: a plain-language piece on what the word actually means under international law, how Gaza compares on every relevant metric, and why even the strongest case for the genocide charge still doesn't clear the bar the word requires.
By the way, I know the title will bother some readers, and I address that directly in the piece. My argument is not that the subject is trivial — it is that the word is being used by people who cannot define it, at a threshold they have never examined, with a confidence that bears no relationship to the evidence.
Spare me the 'trans siblings' guilt trip. In India, many of these 'trans' people are same-sex attracted boys pushed into the hijra community, castrated, and forced into prostitution
— that's not liberation, that's mutilation and trafficking of gay bodies. We don't want that imported horror here. Gay and lesbian kids should be allowed to grow up as who they are, not chemically castrated or surgically altered because they don't fit stereotypes.
Less than 1% of the population shouldn't get to erase women's rights and same-sex attraction. That's not compassion, it's erasing us
I understand the criticism. As a contributing author, I just want to point out that there are several women calling out the homophobia of the trans movement. Each contributor has a unique perspective. I didn't agree 100% with that part but the larger pt of her essay still stands, IMO.
Two things keep Islam from dying out.
1. Apostasy laws: Rules that punish people who leave Islam.
2. Blasphemy laws: Rules that stop people from freely criticising Islam.
Without these two laws, Islam would not have survived.

Islamic antisemitism is also at the root of the Palestinian “resistance” (from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea). And the Palestinian cause is deemed the central cause of the Muslim ummah.

Jonah Wheeler is one of the smartest young politicians the Democratic party has seen in years, and the other Democrats in New Hampshire have treated him abominably over his rejection of gender ideology.
If the Dems had any sense at all, they'd recognize that the public is on his side on this issue and embrace him as the future of the party. Instead, they walk out of the legislative chamber when he speaks. It's disgraceful.
I think it might be a good idea for us all to let Rep Wheeler know how many of us appreciate his integrity and leadership on this. I will be sending a letter to his office and calling as well
This man is a US Democrat.
To us, that matters.
We've been saying that the demarcation line is no longer Democrat v Republican, left v right, or progressive v conservative.
It's reality v ideology.
You don't have to reject liberalism to reject gender ideology. You simply have to start taking liberalism serious.
It's very encouraging that this political reorientaion is getting more difficult to ignore by the minute.
Just wondering, does sanity have a chance?
Jonah Wheeler is a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives.
His courage and clear-sightedness will encourage other Democrats standing for office to speak out against gender identity doctrine.
This admirable young politician can help guide the Democratic Party back to a saner position on sex and “gender.”
.@N3VLYNNN thank you so much for this beautiful and powerful anthology!! I’ve been meaning to cover it! Sorry for the late response and all my best wishes for this amazing project and its reception!!

The callousness shown by New York City's leadership toward vulnerable women in homeless shelters and prisons is a real problem.
Even if they report perverts, they've learned that claiming a special identity gets the man labeled as the "real" victim.

This is kind of weird, not going to lie. When I viewed the evidence of the Holocaust at Yad Vashem, I didn't want to party. Joy seemed like a distant memory. I emerged from the final exhibit with choked back sobs, hollowed out, and felt like I had the flu for the rest of the day.
The more nonsensical and obviously absurd a belief is, the more people who hold it (or pretend to) will resist recanting. The potential for humiliation rises in direct proportion to the ridiculousness of what they've publicly swallowed. They see no choice but to double down.
“You can’t be a transsexual here. You can’t be black here.”
NYC (Aug. 16) — A trans activist speaks in support of the Iranian Islamic regime at a rally organized by communist group, Workers World Party. The man yells at a female counter-protester, “Suck my dick, b—ch.”
In the past, so many women recognised gender ideology for what it really is. The destruction of women's rights, child abuse and the destruction of society to satisfy the fetishist needs of men. Magdalen Berns was a shining light in exposing the harms of the gender ideology cult.
This storm won't pass because it's not a storm. It's a campaign to completely eradicate the civil rights of American Jews. Between this film and Dan Bilzerian's bonafide Nazi ad for US Congress in Florida, the week is off to a great start.
