On the recent episode, Megyn was interviewed by Bill and, as one of the two important issues that was informing her vote in the US election, she brought up the issue of children being damaged by 'affirmation only' medical organisations and she made the secondary point that gender identity negatively affects women's rights/spaces. She spoke about this in front of a hostile to indifferent studio audience but, as the interviewer, Bill was not hostile or indifferent on the issue.

I went to find the interview on YouTube to post here because I thought FWR would find it interesting. For some reason the YouTube version of the interview doesn't have the section where she discussed gender affirmation with Bill (who was on her side - he even mentioned the Cass Review).

So, instead of the full interview, I'm posting links to two videos discussing the interview: I've noted the relevant times when 'affirmation only' is discussed:

This video is Megyn herself discussing her time on the Bill Maher show (time 5.49 to 7.45):

The second is Amala Ekpunobi discussing the interview and how much Maher has moved on this issue (time 0.00 to 8.19):

If you have access to Sky TV then Real Time with Bill Maher is available on Catch Up and Megyn is the first guest interviewed.

She’s just a paid Trump minion anyway.

What does that mean when she stood in opposition to him for years and was a stand-out in the run-up to Trump being elected by making a public stand against him? She's decided to support him this time round because, warts-and-all, she considers he'd be better for America than Harris but that's her right.

Here's a relatively short segment with her speaking out about treatment of children:

She can be right about some things and wrong about others. She's dead right on the wrongness about what's being done to children.

She’s 100% right that children are being sterilised and having any sexual function removed before having body parts removed. Of course people like Messina find it a difficult watch, you support such actions don’t you? It’s difficult to see what you support stated so clearly, I presume?

I found it difficult to watch. She’s just - ranting. In the parts with Bill Maher, she talks over him. She’s just a paid Trump minion anyway.

I saw the show. She didn't come off well at all. She was angrily ranting about immigrants (the usual xenophobic bullshit about alleged criminals) and seemed quite unhinged.
