WTW61: That Time Jon Ronson Both Sides'ed Trans People's Lives

Part 5 of our series Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart Falls Apart

Alright, this episode of Things Fell Apart is what really did it. S2E5. This is the one that made us absolutely certain we had to do this series. Jon Ronson introduces listeners to January Littlejohn, a "concerned mother" in Florida, and what happened when her child began questioning their gender identity. However, in his neverending quest to both sides literally every topic, Ronson misses some major plotholes to the story, and allows harmful rhetoric and misinformation to stand virtually unchallenged; thankfully we have Lydia to help fill in the gaps that Things Fell Apart listeners didn't get to hear!
