A roundup of news and commentary from around the interwebs.

Pushing back actually makes a difference. Remember that prestigious Tennessee girls’ school that announced they’d accept biological boys identifying as girls? After receiving strong pushback from many parents when the policy was made public, they are now putting a pause on it. There’s a lesson here: when we make these things public, the public reacts.

That’s precisely why progressives are working so hard to cancel Libs of TikTok simply for publishing the public statements of LGBT activists—because of how people have reacted to those statements. As it turns out, many—if not most—activists are horrified by the agenda of LGBT activists, as explained in their own words.

Some of you may have read my review of Louise Perry’s brilliant new book The Case Against the Sexual Revolution over at The European Conservative. Perry’s critique comes from the Left, and this is giving a lot of women permission to come out and share how they feel screwed over by the Sexual Revolution, as well. One of those women, former Playboy writer Bridget Phetasy, wrote a blunt and painful column “I regret being a slut.” It is worth reading.

It’s stuff like this that is getting Libs of TikTok banned, by the way:
Seattle Children’s Hospital promotes the use of Lupron as a puberty blocker for transgender kids. Lupron is used to chemically castrate sex offenders and has been linked to thousands of deaths. It’s also not FDA approved for use as a puberty blocker for trans kids. pic.twitter.com/Hr0KJgxReC
Because it is 2022, it is news that a male student calling himself a woman was unable to get into a single sorority for…well, obvious reasons. Not obvious to the journalists covering the “story,” of course. They all had to play dumb and refer to him as a “she” to avoid getting kicked off Twitter.

Trans activists, of course, can usually get away with anything. Case in point:
A Scottish trans activist who has called for the murder of politicians he disagrees with and was filmed screaming insults at women last fall has been appointed as a Learning Disabilities Officer for the governing Scottish National Party. Alexandria Adamson, a male who identifies as a transgender woman, was recorded hurling slurs at a women’s rights demonstration in Edinburgh last September. Adamson, who was demonstrating with a crowd of trans activists, went viral after he was caught on film lunging towards a woman and repeatedly screaming “witch!” at her before a police officer intervened.
