Part 4/14:
Walsh identifies Caitlyn Jenner’s transition as a pivotal moment—once celebrated as a milestone, it coincided with an explosion of acceptance that now pervades institutions, media, and law. He argues that this was the moment when transgender ideology entered the cultural mainstream, partly due to media celebration but also due to a failure among conservatives to recognize and confront the threat early on. Walsh criticizes that many on the right saw it as a side issue and didn’t realize it was “an attack on reality,” a line that was relentlessly reinforced during his interviews.
