By Jonathon Van Maren Of all the emails I receive from readers, some of the most heart-breaking ones come from parents whose children struggle with rapid onset gender dysphoria, or ROGD. They are confused and heartbroken, and their children are often confused and heartbroken, as well. One mother ended her email to me with a…
By Jonathon Van Maren The January sun was shining on Istanbul’s Sultanahmet Square as I walked by small piles of scrabbling pigeons, passed the gleaming white Obelisk of Theodosius, and headed through the metal detector that guards the door of the Turkish-Islamic Arts Museum. It is a long building of rose-colored brick and stone, fronted…
By Jonathon Van Maen Based on the recent headlines, it would appear that the demand for bigots of various stripes vastly outstrips the supply. The Covington Catholic High School boys were portrayed as an ugly mob threatening and mocking a Native American Vietnam veteran before it turned out that they hadn’t been threatening, hadn’t been…
By Jonathon Van Maren I’ve noted several times already that whether we like it or not, we are going to have to deal with the ongoing colonization of schools and the attempted invasion of families by the transgender movement. They are not planning to leave us alone. They are planning to force their ideology into…
By Jonathon Van Maren Consider this for a moment: Every single Democrat running for president in 2020 voted against doctors being required to grant care to children born alive after botched abortions. These are not babies being aborted, which is horrifying enough. These are babies that survived the first attempt on their lives, and are…
By Jonathon Van Maren Imagine the following scenario. You are a happy boy, growing up in a middle-class home with your two siblings. You enjoy playing outdoors with them, school is going well, and you think the world of your parents. Your dad is your hero, and you love your mom more than anyone in…
By Jonathon Van Maren Since I wrote about the horrifying instance of a biological man claiming to be a woman sexually assaulting a ten-year-old girl in a women’s bathroom in the UK on February 13, I have received many angry responses from people who want to know how I dare to insinuate that transgender people…
By Jonathon Van Maren I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: You quite literally could not make this stuff up if you tried to. Consider the latest developments coming out of the transgender movement—such as an apparently famous actress stating, absurdly, that if a biological man who says he is a woman has…
By Jonathon Van Maren If pro-lifers had claimed during the leadup to Ireland’s May 25 abortion referendum that abortion activists would ask for pro-life physicians to be kept out of maternity care, they would have been called liars and the abortion activists would have screamed bloody murder. But bloody murder, incidentally, is what you have…
By Jonathon Van Maren Many of the mainline Protestant denominations are such an anti-Christian farce these days that it’s hard to keep up. The United Church of Canada is not united, not a church, and even has an atheist pastor. The Church of England is experimenting with a fictitious new pseudo-sacrament to celebrate the sex change surgeries of…
