HBO late night host Bill Maher in 2019 mocked a guest for saying progressives believe men can menstruate. Maher isn’t laughing at the idea now.

SO WHAT

Leftists keep denying they’re the crazy ones, and then proving themselves wrong.

THE VIDEOS

In two short years, Maher went from never having heard of male menstruation to begging Democrats to stop talking about it on the campaign trail:

NOVEMBER 2019: Per a video that resurfaced on Twitter Wednesday, conservative commentator Dennis Prager said on “Real Time with Bill Maher” that “anyone who says a man cannot menstruate is considered transphobic” on the left.

This is from Nov 2019.

Queer Theory and Critical Race theory ideology are so radical and incoherent, one risks looking crazy pointing them out. @wesyang pic.twitter.com/89cgalW9fD

Maher reacted by making a face, prompting the audience and other members of the show’s panel to laugh at Prager’s expense.

• “Wait, wait, wait, where did that come from? … I missed this whole story,” Maher said. “Who is saying this? You’re talking about a very small percentage.”
• Prager gave a number of examples of biological men’s female gender identity being accommodated, from high school athletics to the elite media, but Maher scoffed: “Dennis, I remember you, in the old show, you were a little more reasonable.”
• “No one” thinks that “men menstruate,” Maher claimed.

NOVEMBER 2021: During his monologue, Maher urged Democrats running for Congress to stop using woke language, like gender-neutral terms designed to include transgender men.

“If a staffer hands you a speech that says ‘menstruating people’ instead of ‘women,’ don’t say that,” Maher quipped. “Say … ‘women.'”

THE TREND

In recent years, left-leaning elites have repeatedly insisted that the latest woke insanity is really just a figment of the right’s fevered imagination.

• Nobody really wants “open borders” they said — before almost every 2020 Democratic presidential candidate essentially endorsed the idea.
• “Cancel culture” is an excuse for conservative bullies they said — before self-righteous progressives turned on their own.
• “Abolish the police” really means criminal justice reform they said — before Minneapolis tried to dismantle its department and other cities slashed their law enforcement budgets amid a historic spike in violent crime.
• “Critical race theory” isn’t being taught in schools they said — before parents started speaking out.

THE LATEST

During a Wednesday congressional hearing, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra refused to directly answer whether “men can get pregnant.”

• “Unless you know something I don’t, I think the answer’s pretty obvious,” Becerra told Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo.”I’m not aware of it.”
• Boebert then pushed Becerra on HHS’ adoption of the term “birthing people,” saying “it seems to be more inclusive, like you’re trying to include another gender in that.”
• “I’m all about inclusion,” replied Becerra.
