Honestly with Bari Weiss
26 Executive Orders, TikTok's Future, and Elon’s Arm

And the reason is it doesn't help society if you have people like me and you don't give us a road to deal with our mental health issues and integrate back in, right? We should be able to get jobs. We should be able to just blend and go about our day. Like I've been very thoroughly employed for the last 17 years. I pay taxes, happily married.

I am clearly a better credit to America this way than I was as a drug-addicted shut-in. when I was really broken by this. At the same time, there's some good stuff in this executive order. And I know that's going to upset a lot of my transgender friends to say, but there has been a fringe effort in the last years to legislate sex out of existence.

And progressives have been very successful at that. I don't want an America... where women as a class, a biological class, cannot get the rights and protections they need because a bunch of gender ideologues have some theories about that. There are real conversations we need to have about lesbian spaces and prison policy, and I welcome that.

But it just feels like this is so cruel and so extreme that you're essentially turning everyone in the community creature that does not get dignity and doesn't have a path to a normal life. And I don't think that's where most Americans are.

I think it's a real wake-up call for trans people. I think that's dead on. And that is how I feel, Barry. Free Press had an excellent story this week about Biden's decision to put natal males with penises, you know, in women's prisons, like some of them with a very frightening history of sexual abuse. That doesn't help. It's A, evil. B, it doesn't help trans women like me. We want to integrate.

I don't want that to be the way that people think of me. And the thing is this progressive idea, this what I call gender ideology. It is so extreme that it is literally confusing children and telling them it's giving them propaganda that says you can have no gender if you don't want any, even when they don't have those questions. It's confusing them.

It's putting women in positions where they are not safe in prison. It is threatening women's sports. It is really hurting the lesbian community. And I think there's a real adult conversation that we need to have. If the trans community were any smarter, we would look at this executive order and say, this is a very clear signal.

What we are pushing is not sellable to the American people and we need to change course. It's so frustrating to me that everyone I know is just quadrupling down on the old messages that aren't working. So... I don't know where we go from here. It feels like we're in a deadlock. Something's got to change. I see it. A lot of normal trans women and men I know see it.
