Opinion | Evidence Backs the Transgender Social-Contagion Hypothesis
The share of young people claiming another ‘gender identity’ exploded. Now surveys show it is receding.
www.wsj.com

5 years ago, I and others were canceled for suggesting the latter. New evidence shows we were right.

This Data Flips the Transgender Bullying Narrative on Its Head
A new Finnish study found that trans-identified adolescents—especially those who identify as “nonbinary”—were more likely to bully others than they were to be bullied.

The Trump administration is right to withhold funding over Harvard's racist and ideological hiring and admissions policies that violate the CRA.
However, demanding ideological “affirmative action” to achieve viewpoint “equity” is the wrong approach.

On Day 1, Trump signed an executive order affirming the reality that sex is binary, immutable, and based on gametes—not “gender identity.”
This was needed. However, protecting women’s rights requires not just acknowledging biological reality but also PREVENTING EFFORTS TO HIDE IT.

My recommendation for referencing sex recorded at birth is for trans women, not people with DSDs. For people with DSDs, like Khelif, objective tests like a barr body test should be performed as a first filter.
