Come on, man. Pick a lane.

When you tell people they can change their sex, and then they try, and they persist to try even past the point of realizing they'd been lied to, some of them will become dangerously demented. It is kindness not to mislead them in the first place.

None of our pronouns are respected until all of our pronouns are respected.

Britain’s Good Law Project Again Claims the NHS Caused a Surge of Trans-Youth Suicides—Without Proving Its Case benryan.substack.com/p/britains-g... GLP has falsely claimed the NHS all but eliminated access to puberty blockers starting in 2021 and that this led to a suicide surge.

Everyone who vigorously defended Algerian boxer Imane Khelif as a "cis woman boxer" is, as history has proven, an idiot. Usefulness of such idiocy is less certain than Khelif's male biology.

Tough news for Washington Post staff members, but I sure hope Casey Parks got laid off. She wrote a smear about me in the WaPo under the news section. She never reached out to me to verify the account she wrote about me and then when private on 𝕏 when I objected. Can't run a newspaper like that.

1. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement in not managed well, or else there would not be two civilian deaths in the same city in the same time period. 2. White savior leftists are making the situation worse, not better. 3. Fight in the courts, not the streets.

It was really stupid for this young guy to arm himself and then go right into the middle of a tumultuous situation where there was likely to be rioting and law enforcement actions. I condemn his lack of judgment. That said, I believe Mr. Rittenhouse was defending himself.

This is my testimony for Indiana SB 182, a bill that protects incarcerated women from being housed with males who identify as women.

I testified today in Indiana in support of SB 182, a bill that would protect incarcerated women from being housed with biological males. The bill would also fix the definition of sex for the purposes of legal interpretation.

Thank you to the ACLU, and Chase Strangio especially, for basically destroying "trans rights" in the US. May we all take a lesson from this: choose your champions carefully. @chasestrangio.bsky.social

Writing messages like this is shameful, and it's entirely reasonable for the recipient to consider it a violent threat. I hope this @fullerlab.bsky.social employee faces some stiff feedback.

In the year 2026, some portion of people on BlueSky who strongly identify as the opposite sex (or as "non-binary") will take steps to wind down their trans identity to align with their natal sex.

Our secret agent, Helen Webberley, is executing our plans to undermine trans activism. Yes, we've had to delay acquiring the TERF yacht, but short-term pleasures must be put off to attain long-term advantages in the gender cold war.

Squirrel!

It should be obvious that Bad Shit™ was happening in Genderland, especially with respect to minors. It's good that things are finally turning around. I wish there was not so much polarization, and that people who've medicalized could discern the harmful behaviors, because many of us are victims.

They are pretending to be sweet. Don't believe them.

"Ana Marie Cox" Huh. That name rings a bell. Maybe she was some type of moral paragon in a bygone age? Ah, well, never mind.

The totalitarian mind works on the premise that if you agree 90 percent on a subject, you are still an enemy, because any divergent viewpoint represents a threat to the totalist worldview. Pick any topic, it's always the same.

Was the more than 20-fold rise in trans identities since 2010 the result of people finally feeling free to express their authentic selves? Or was it a social contagion? 5 years ago, I and others were canceled for suggesting the latter. New evidence shows we were right. www.wsj.com/opinion/evid...

Socialism and fascism are both varieties of collectivist ideologies. They are more similar to one another than most people want to believe, but they are both diametrically opposed to individualism. I am an individualist. What are you?

I am far, far from convinced "detransition" should be added to the DSM-6. New Informed Dissent podcast. informeddissentpodcast.substack.com/p/what-belon...

"Internalized transphobia" is a pretty interesting idea. It weaponized the innate and justifiable insecurity that develops from pretending to be the opposite sex, justifying deeper commitments to social and medical transition. The warning signal gets misinterpreted; our doubts become our guidance.

The young males who were puberty-blocked and surgically modified to resemble girls are not thriving. We should have the courage to understand what's happening. lgbcouragecoalition.substack.com/cp/165628864

Antifa created Andy Ngo. They elevated him, paid tribute to him, thought about him constantly, and made him into a phenomenon. Some people associated with Antifa understand this, I'm certain.

Death Before Detransition? Yes. "I long defended 'I am a woman.' A self-made one—estrogen, surgery, seamless she/her life. Even as my views shifted, I feheld that despite my sex, I lived as socially female." corinnacohn.substack.com/p/death-befo...
