While there are all kinds of illiberal tendencies wrapped up in neo-liberalism and “woke” cultural trends, there is a reason why transgenderism has emerged as the biggest flashpoint. It is simultaneously the most demanding woke belief — the notion that you can change your sex requires you to deny the most basic ontological premises of human existence — and the most militant, given that forcing everyone to buy into transgenderism requires applying extreme pressure on people to get them to deny reality.


And when transgender people don’t get their way, it’s well established many of them are willing to go to extremes to force acceptance. Transgender people routinely make explicit calls to violence that often go uncondemned even though similar rhetoric from others would be punished under many European country’s Orwellian speech laws. They’re essentially a privileged class at this point. (under the U.K.’s “managerial multiculturalism,” Muslims and immigrants benefit from a similar double standard.)

Wesley Yang, an astute critic of trans ideology, observed the following: "The transgender movement is global and unitary and seeks the same things everywhere it obtains the power to impose them. Its ultimate aim is to deploy state power to make it illegal to deny the movement’s dogmas. It is an assault on the freedoms of speech, conscience, religion, and association that will imprison people for saying that men aren’t women, that human beings cannot change sex, that there has never been an evidence base for transgender medicine, that children are never born in the wrong body, that women need their own private spaces from which men are excluded, that letting men compete against women in sports is deeply unfair because trans women are men, that sex is binary and immutable, that Rachel Levine is a deeply corrupt man who abused his power to advance the aims of a cult of medicalized self-harm that brainwashes quirky kids to yearn to be chemically castrated and dismembered, and that all of it is in the service of a mad imperative to make a false claim true."

No doubt many well-intentioned people who pride themselves on being tolerant and accepting would declare Yang’s assessment divisive and harmful to the people being critiqued, i.e. the usual ritual incantations the left-wing utters as a means of avoiding the question of whether what’s being said is true. Yang is correct that none of their factual claims can withstand scrutiny.

While we should reserve sympathy and dignity for individual transgender people, there can be no compromise with a movement that demands their critics be arrested. Fortunately this is another area where Americans have proved exceptional. Transgenderism is in retreat politically, legally, and culturally in America. But there’s more that needs to be done, so long as many institutions in America still honor transgender dogmas. Simply put, we need to make it clear that no one can make us deny the most basic biological facts of our existence, and attempts to use political force to make people publicly honor someone’s private delusions must be resisted as long as it takes. Repelling transgenderism's use of a global and unitary anti-free speech movement here is a step toward stopping them everywhere.
