For example, all are prominent individuals who claim ‘trans’ as their identities, but all are, to some extent, gender-critical themselves – that is, they acknowledge that they have not actually changed sex.
These four share some characteristics that make them ‘good trans’ and allies to some important gender critical activists. And, they have the potential to be just as apocalyptic. Our horsemen don’t sound nearly as bad as those biblical dudes, but like those four horsemen of the Bible, these four have come to represent familiar reminders of popular cultural role models that most of us in the western world understand and even feel comforted by. Something similar is happening in the gender critical community right now with an internal rift that could bring an end to our credibility and effectiveness.
In the Bible, the world ends when the first four of seven seals open and four horsemen ride out with the creepy monikers of Pestilence, Famine. Bending principles for the sake of gender critical trans allies risks splitting the movement and undermining the message.
