A roundup of news and commentary from around the interwebs.

Trans activists are now accusing WestJet of violating their human rights for declining to provide an “x” option for those who have moved past the binary, no longer identify as male or female, and are waiting for us to catch up. I’m sure Trudeau will move to voice his support as soon as he’s over his fourth or fifth bout of Covid.

Over at The Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro torches Fox News for promoting the story of a “transgender child.” If you’re a Fox fan, it’s worth the read.
***
Pride organizers in Manitoba, Canada have actually banned the premier from attending future Pride events after she spoke at the recent march—because she didn’t walk in the parade afterwards. Nothing is good enough for these people, not even speaking at a Pride march—because you have to jump through all the hoops to show sufficient support and ensure that everyone sees you groveling to the rainbow flag. I’m looking forward to seeing more politicians beclown themselves like this.

In the “nothing will ever be enough for these people” category, Dublin Pride has just publicly excoriated the Irish public broadcaster RTE for hosting discussions on transgenderism. Their message is clear: Broadcast what we tell you to, or we’ll publicly condemn you in the hopes of embarrassing you and making you back down.

At First Things, Carl Trueman has a potent piece titled “A Queer Nation is No Nation At All.” As always, Trueman hits the nail on the head.

Speaking of nations in decline, Sir Keir Starmer—the UK Labour leader—recently let everyone know that although the “vast majority” of women do not have a penis, a “small minority” do. He didn’t say how he knows this.
***
A recent poll indicates growing support for abortion rights, but Dr. Michael New explains why pro-lifers shouldn’t be concerned over at National Review.

For all those supporters of Pierre Poilievre out there, consider this point made by my pal Scott Hayward:
You do realize that Poilievre refused to cast a vote on Bill C-16, you know, the bill that made you famous in 2016, right @jordanbpeterson?https://t.co/6XbeKaqcQG
