Andrew Sullivan’s a pretty notorious liberal leaner, but he’s also a liberal leaner who’s been willing to vocally pushback against the Wokeness Brigade. For instance, he’s dared to point out that there are differences between boys and girls. And to be clear, we salute him for that.
But he’s also had some pretty unfortunate missteps. Like this, for example:
Andrew Sullivan wants to make the distinction between strippers and fun, costumed drag queens
And then there’s this:
I wonder how many people who oppose child sex changes also oppose circumcision. Similar principle of the bodily integrity of children, especially their sex organs.

Too bad for Andrew that there’s no such thing as ratio change surgery, because his ratio for that tweet is a hot mess.
"Similar" https://t.co/Fo1aw6GDFr

Narrator: The principle is not, in fact similar.
It's uh, not a similar principle. https://t.co/9DoSqN4AHW

Unless “similar” means the opposite of what it used to mean. And as far as we know, it doesn’t.
That take is going to need a flight attendant.

If Sullivan’s tweet doesn’t belong on The List, we don’t know what does.
Dude. Absolutely ridiculous comparison

Nope.
I'm not aware of any circumcision that ends with the baby having a vagina. https://t.co/D9t90hKuIw

Neither are we. Sullivan’s take is just so weird. We actually kind of hope he was under the influence when he wrote that tweet. At least then we could maybe forgive him once he sobers up.
But otherwise … yikes.

Cutting someone's fingernails is similiar to cutting their hands off. https://t.co/l7myP27vGL

I can tolerate a parent getting a little girl's ears pierced, but I draw the line at decapitation. https://t.co/Fo1aw6GDFr

All we can say is thank God Andrew Sullivan is not a doctor.
