"They say pronouns are a gateway drug. They open the door to these lies that lead to real harm to real females. They're a clever rhetorical trick that forces you to cede the argument about women's spaces before you've even spoken one word of substance..." -Megyn Kelly
[PJMedia.com] Megyn Kelly declared on Friday during her show that she will no longer use preferred pronouns. After years of going along with the charade because she didn't "see the harm" in it, she's now realized that preferred pronouns are a "gateway drug" to genital mutilation. (Screengrab image)
"I was an early proponent of using preferred pronouns as far back as the early 2000s of saying 'she' when I knew the truth was 'he,'" she said. "It seemed harmless and I had no wish to cause offense. Trans people were tortured enough, it seemed to me, by nature of their dysphoria and society's disdain for them in general. So I complied. I went along with it. I didn't see the harm."
She continued, "By 2016, we were debating bills to stop trans access to certain bathrooms, which I covered from the news desk, siding with the trans community. How does it affect our lives as women if here or there a trans person uses a stall in our bathroom? These people aren't bothering anyone—why wouldn't we accommodate them? I didn't see the harm."
She then recounted how in 2018, while working at NBC, she hosted shows discussing transgender issues. During one episode, there was a segment focused on "trans kids." Kelly joined the audience in cheering for these kids, whom she legitimately believed at the time were embracing their true identities. She used terms like "gender-affirming care," "cis," and "assigned male/female at birth." At the time, she was convinced this was harmless, and actually helpful to kids who were "suffering."
"I would use this more evolved language," Kelly noted. "I didn't see the harm."
Since then, she has realized it wasn't harmless at all. She cited female athletes losing to or being injured by male athletes in competition; male sex offenders getting placed in women's prisons and raping female inmates; and the procedures that are making the medical community lots of money but condemning young people to a life of infertility, leaving their bodies grotesquely mutilated. Because of this, Kelly realized she can't participate in the charade anymore and won't use preferred pronouns going forward.
"They say pronouns are a gateway drug. They open the door to these lies that lead to real harm to real females. They're a clever rhetorical trick that forces you to cede the argument about women's spaces before you've even spoken one word of substance," said Kelly...
