Moved this here because I watched the rest of the video and he gets shitty at the end.

How do we get people like Norm to stop being credulous about flawed science and fucking bigotry.

His larger point with the video is more interesting but it gets lost in anti-trans shit at the end

cwWatch the video, he whines about cancel culture and says the science is against puberty blockers

He could certainly be worse, hence why I'm asking how we stop people like him from going down this path, not just purely shitting on him, but he is on the path. I don't feel he's irredeemable, and his scholarship over the years is of great value, but it sucks to hear this stuff from him, and makes him and his ideas unpresentable to young people who are better informed than he is about trans issues. He is becoming more and more like the people he associates with, whining about cancel culture with them and reading their work about social issues
