Graham Linehan on Jon Ronson's new book

My ex-friend Jon Ronson may be a case study in the corrupting toxicity of trans ideology. An interesting read.

His book chapter about me stands as an indictment of him and the cowardly social class of people who refuse to confront uncomfortable truths

Call it confirmation bias if you will, but reading the two pieces side by side, I know which one sounds the more convincing.

Graham's article is very good. An indictment of these cowardly "friends" so many of us have known.

I think Ronson's knowingly ironic style combined with I'm not mainstream but I'm on the Right Side of History is probably coming to the end of the road in terms of current fashions. He'll continue to do well with his target audience of progressives which might be enough for him.

Linehan: 'These few trans people behaving very badly over here are representative of all trans people'

Ronson: 'It doesn't work that way'

Linehan: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE BAD TRANS PEOPLE!!!!'

Show quote history

It's straight out of the Piers Morgan 'DO YOU CONDEMN HAMAS?' book of forced denunciations for not eagerly participating in scapegoating otherwise you are a heretic!

Jon Ronson seems to be an abject coward. Trans ideology is exactly the sort of thing he should be investigating given his interest in modern culture yet he seems unable to see it at all.

I'm sure he sees it well enough, @Lovelyview . He just doesn't want to risk going there.

Of course he sees it, he just chooses to ignore it.
