Jo Bartosch at UnHerd on the puberty blocker trial: This week, three claimants — detransitioner Keira Bell, psychotherapist James Esses, and the Bayswater Support Group — launched a High Court challenge to stop the £10.7 million study.

Seth Mandel at Commentary: It’s not enough to be horrified by Hamas. Any healthy society must also be horrified by anyone who shared Hamas propaganda throughout the war. The legions of pro-Hamas lemmings marching throughout American and European cities have tricked us into lowering the civilizational bar. We tend to be sated with scraps—just denouncing…

The government are putting this all onto Baroness Cass – we’re just doing what she said. I wonder how Cass feels about that. She could speak up, even at this late stage. In fact she’s perhaps the only person now that can stop this whole disgraceful business, apart from Wes Streeting. But will she? Her…

It’s the story that keeps on giving. The Sandie Peggie tribunal judgement, that is.

Well now… The judgment in the Sandie Peggie NHS Fife trans row employment tribunal has been amended to remove a bogus quote. The original 300-page document referenced a line supposedly from a major gender campaigner’s separate tribunal from 2021. It related to the case brought by gender campaigner Maya Forstater – a supporter of Ms…

A grim tale, which shows how irresponsible gender cultists, like GenderGP’s Helen Webberley, can ruin the lives of vulnerable children: The father of a child who was prescribed a potentially fatal dose of testosterone by the online clinic GenderGP has described his anger at hearing the clinic’s founder deny knowledge of the case. Family court…

Janice Turner on Jack Polanski’s latest: For a tribune of the left, Zack Polanski is an astounding elitist. On BBC Question Time the Green Party leader said high immigration was essential because “I don’t know about you but I don’t particularly want to wipe someone’s bum”. The scoffing condescension. Me? Wipe a bum? The very…

A powerful piece from Juliet Samuel, in the Times, on the Maccabi Tel Aviv debacle: What’s odd is that the “evidence” compiled by West Midlands police, which was used to justify making the city an official no-go zone for Israelis, bears so little resemblance to the official Dutch account. It has more in common with…
