Bill Maher Transcends the Culture War

Kyle highlights Bill Maher’s Friday monologue, expressing liberal skepticism of the transgender craze affecting children. Kyle describes Maher as a “National Review kind of Democrat.” I think of Maher’s positioning in this debate more as a European kind of liberal. The easiest way for American liberals to question trans orthodoxy is to align themselves with what their European counterparts are doing, i.e., putting the brakes on the trans train. As I wrote in reference to Florida, this is also the most strategic move for conservatives since it transcends the pettiness and parochialism of the culture war.
