Evidence does not support the idea that trans-identified people are simply “born that way,” yet this belief guides clinical practice, reflecting an essentialism bias in transgender medicine that steers people toward medical interventions.

Donald Trump’s presidency hinges on loyalty, which depends on the perception of power. As a lame duck, that perception is already eroding — and the Epstein scandal is now accelerating it.

Rubio is wrong.
Major Russian companies like Rosatom, Nornickel and Tatneft have not been fully sanctioned or sanctioned at all. The US could impose more secondary sanctions on oil purchases above the price cap and human rights sanctions for the kidnapping of Ukrainian children.

Gen Z are ‘resisting cultural norms’ and coming out as queer earlier, but there’s a catch
Gen Zers often realise their sexual identity earlier and quicker, a study has found, which had positive, but also risky, implications.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the only defence of women and girls' sex-based rights to safety and privacy is the approach taken her by Prof Armstrong. This makes it more important than ever that attempts to introduce gender identity into law must be resisted with all of our energy.

“He [Armstrong] said that the society’s pledge supporting people to use facilities — such as lavatories — that align with their “affirmed identity” breached the Equality Act.”

The English Blackball Pool Federation, has successfully defended the claim brought against it by the transgender player Harriet Haynes.
The court concluded that pool is a ‘gender-affected activity’ and that excluding males from the female category is necessary to secure fair competition.
