From the Mail – Most gender-confused children grow out of it, landmark 15-year study concludes: The majority of gender-confused children grow out of that feeling by the time they are fully grown adults, according to a long-term study. Researchers in the Netherlands tracked more than 2,700 children from age 11 to their mid-twenties, asking them…

Oh boy: A non-binary patient in Canada is seeking taxpayer-funded surgery to create a vagina while also keeping a functional penis. If a court rules in their favour, the patient, 33, from Ontario, will travel to a specialist clinic in Austin, Texas, for the procedure. The patient, referred to in court documents as KS, was…

Kim Jong-un has commanded that from henceforth South Korea will be referred to as "the South Korean puppet state". With far-reaching consequences: North Korean restaurants operating in Russia are no longer accepting South Korean customers. The policy change appears to be part of an order by North Korean authorities to turn away South Korean customers…

Lawrence Freedman's latest, on Putin the Fanatic: As I have argued many times in these posts, Russia’s inability thus far to achieve its objectives and so win the war is not the same as a Ukrainian victory. Ukraine has lost a lot and continues to do so. It has suffered mightily. A cease fire based…

JK Rowling hate law posts not criminal, police say. The force said complaints had been received but no action would be taken. Her courageous intervention – calling the bluff of those trans activists ready to pounce – seems to have paid off.  I hope every woman in Scotland who wishes to speak up for the…

From the LGB Alliance response to the Scottish government's consultation on ending conversion practices in Scotland: We are particularly concerned about “conversion practices” described in relation to talking therapy. It is essential to understand that many of the teenagers, especially girls, who are being referred to gender clinics, mistake their homosexuality for a gender identity…

An interesting note from Scottish MP Ash Regan, who originally backed the Hate Crime Bill but has now changed her mind: I was asked for my view on whether we should include sex as a characteristic, to protect women from misogyny, and I said yes. I was told that in feedback from women’s rights organisations,…

The last lot of us defeated right wing homophobia, this generation will defeat left wing homophobia. Both of them call us Queers and neither cares very much if we are insulted. Both practice conversion therapy, one by prayer, the other by gender. Both do homophobic violence,… — Dennis Noel Kavanagh (@Jebadoo2) April 1, 2024 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js…
