Pink News should not be revered as absolute truth.

I'm gonna say it: Pink News is the most commonly wrong and disgusting publication which is also regularly passed around as absolute truth on my feeds.

Yes, it's worse that Natural News in that Natural News was only really shared by crackpots until it seemingly faded into obscurity.

Pink News manages to cloak itself in a veneer of credibility while towing a very specific, dangerous line.

The thing is, Pink News is clearly paying lip service to that neo-Marxist, intersectional, collectivist, bullshit ideology that most people on the hard Left seem to espouse nowadays.

The moment when it all crumbled for me was when Pink News called a 60 Minutes piece on kids detransitioning "anti-trans" and realized that I had heard the same rhetoric a dozen times from "allies" who would even attack trans-people for talking about that issue.

The argument against talking about it is either non-existent or, "Well, that's really rare." Well, if you give a shit about individuals, you should still care. It shouldn't be off limits to discuss the risks involved in giving hormones to children.

Eventually we may decide that the benefits outweigh the potential risks, which I doubt; but, that doesn't mean that raising the issue should be dismissed as bigotry.

That's the only weapon that Pink News has.
