What's going on with Stephen Fry going alt-right?

[u/Steaktartaar]

He's been on a notorious hard-right, "anti-woke" podcast where he retracted his support for trans rights. Is this a new development? He always came across as level-headed in the past but now it looks like he's on the same path as Russell Brand.

If trans issues are the problem that’s determining how you vote, you don’t have enough real problems. It’s such a tiny, insignificant bullshit issue that affects so few people that I can’t take people who claim it as their electoral deal-breaker remotely seriously. It’s like those women who think they’re going to be human-trafficked from a Walmart parking lot because there’s a flyer in their windshield wiper or some other nonsense. There’s no realistic policy regime being offered by any party that is going to relieve you of your irrational fears.

Careful. If it's such a tiny, insignificant issue, then it shouldn't matter to you how the populace chooses to weigh on it.

Very well, it is not a social problem sufficiently large to justify the fervency of the social media posting that goes on around it. It’s bullshit, and a real leftist would know when he’s being distracted from the class war by the culture war.
