It was just sort of happening.

And then it stopped.

And now the monkey picture sells for 19 cents in a paperclip.

And, you know, as an analogy for transgenderism, it's maybe a bit unhelpful.

Not much connecting trans ideology to NFTs, except just that people get swept up.

People are very susceptible to getting swept up into fads.

And that's ultimately what trans ideology was or is.

I mean, it existed prior to a few years ago, but its mass adoption, its mainstream acceptance was a fad.

And like most fads, nobody could rationally explain it or defend it.

Nobody who got carried away by it could really justify it.

And now the thing has faded.

Now,

I will say, though, the fad could have become potentially a more permanent fixture of American culture.

It could have metastasized, to mix metaphors, if we hadn't fought back.

So it had a lot of the hallmarks of a fad, a very deranged fad, destroyed a lot of lives.

But with a fad like the kinds of jeans that somebody wears, that kind of comes and goes on its own.

this had to be beaten back.

And it was successfully, much to Megan Rapinoe's chagrin.
