A roundup of news and commentary from around the interwebs.

There are quite a few stories on the transgender front over the past few days. First of all, a so-called “family-friendly” drag show in Memphis was shut down over the weekend by organizers, with police showing up due to protestors.

People should make their voices heard.

The most important story to emerge last week, hands down, was this one—Matt Walsh’s brutal expose of what Rod Dreher subsequently referred to as “atrocities at Vanderbilt,” a children’s hospital facilitating sex changes:

(Here’s Andrew Sullivan’s take on that insanity).

Another reminder, by the way: This is what “transgender clinics” are doing to people:
