Bill Maher recently featured guest Dr. Debra Soh on his podcast. Soh is an outspoken opponent of the trans ideology embraced by the far left and has been labeled as right wing for doing so, even though she is basically a liberal.

During their discussion, Maher lamented the fact that the left is pushing so many people to the right by refusing to let go of this issue, and he has a very good point.

It is well known that one of Trump’s most effective ads in the 2024 election was the one in which he tied Kamala Harris to this issue by saying that she is for they/them.

Bill Maher blames the far-left for pushing out liberals like Joe Rogan, Elon Musk over to conservatives

Talk show host Bill Maher argued during Monday’s episode of his “Club Random” podcast that the progressive left is inadvertently building the modern right wing by alienating former allies until they feel forced to “switch sides.”

Maher sat down with Dr. Debra Soh, a Canadian sex researcher and neuroscientist. Soh, the author of The End of Gender, has become a polarizing figure in liberal circles for her critiques of gender ideology and her warnings regarding medical transitions for minors.

“The science denial is so bad in terms of even like pure biology you would think would be acceptable and should not be controversial,” Soh told Maher. “I don’t know that we’re ever going to get back from that.”

Maher expressed disbelief at how a “straight-arrow” academic like Soh became a pariah among progressives. “For them, you’re just some sort of right-winger,” Maher said.

“Because I’m saying that girls shouldn’t be cutting off their breasts,” Soh replied, characterizing her stance as basic common sense…

“I’ve said this before—they’ve driven a lot of people like Joe Rogan and Elon Musk… people who are not conservative people, who were actually liberal heroes for a long time, they’ve driven them into the conservative side,” Maher said. “Because they were so unacceptably not ‘super woke’ just because they wouldn’t go along with the bulls—.”

Democrats seem unwilling or unable to divorce themselves from this issue. They just can’t help themselves.
