@taylan But would it be surprising to find unhinged crap in Project 2025? I used the phrase "MAGA" with purpose there in the first toot.
@admitsWrongIfProven Who knows. If I had to guess, it was probably a passage that links together porn culture with trans culture, and the journos took some liberties in their representation of what the book actually says.
By the way, I wonder if the reporting was a bit lazy in this part:
> In its Mandate for Leadership, Project 2025 defines pornography as the “omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children”
I've never heard anyone define "pornography" that way. I'm guessing the journalists were being a bit loose with their interpretation of the source material. The linked page doesn't contain the words "pornography" or "transgender" but seems to link to some book you can buy, so can't easily verify the claim. It would be an incredibly stupid way to define "pornography."
A good definition can be found in the Civil Rights Ordinance written by Catharine MacKinnon and Andrea Dworkin. I wish they'd have succeeded in getting that law passed back then.
