No Surprises Here: David French Flip Flops on ‘Personal Pronouns’
David French, who we like to call ‘The State’s Fool”, is a self-proclaimed “conservative” Christian commentator who can always be counted on to give the worst take possible on any situation.
These positions include announcing he’s pro-‘same-sex marriage, supporting ‘gender-affirming’ care for children, condemning Texas University for banning drag shows, declaring he’s voting for a Harris/ Walz ticket, and getting upset when Christians call chemical castration of children “abusive.”
In a recent episode of ‘The Opinions’ podcast, French spoke to economist Jessica Riedl- who, up until recently, was a man named Brian Riedl before he socially (and physically) transitioned into a “woman.”
Riedl has a wife and kids that he lies to himself by claiming they are “100% supportive, and encouraged me to take this step,’ all the while insisting ‘(I have) unmistakably known I was transgender since the age of 4.’
French is all but too happy to call him by his new name and use his pronouns, referring to him as a “she” in his introduction.
This capitulation sharply contrasts with his beliefs from just a few years ago, where in his 2018 article ‘In the Transgender Debate, Conservatives Can’t Compromise the Truth’ he sang a completely different tune. Here, French emphatically insisted that ” I will not concede that gender dysphoria trumps biology” while declaring “Our culture is in the midst of a live and important dispute over the very nature of biological reality — and over the psychological and spiritual health of hundreds of thousands of precious souls — and now is not the time to abandon the field.”
He was so forcefully, you’d be forgiven for thinking he meant it when he wrote:
With this new acquiescence, French has few convictions left that he hasn’t already compromised on, but that new low is just a column away.
