I stumbled across Reduxx
Mag and subsequently became an avid reader.They are committed and superb.
Never take seriously anyone who claims trans women are women.
Never take seriously anyone talking about gender if they claim not to have read Reduxx.
Happy holidays!

Cambridge students launch single-sex Society for Women
βWeβre now at a point where I no longer can see inaction as just inaction. I now see a lot of it as just cowardice, and Iβm not interested in it anymore.β β Maeve Hallβ¦
Saw this inspiring post on the blog of @nickwallis.bsky.social today. Three brave young students at Cambridge fight back at utterly pervasive and aggressive trans indoctrination. I wish them every possible success and hope other intimidated students find some hope.

Why the NHS puberty-blockers trial is a catastrophic mistake
Suppressing troubled children's puberty compounds their distress and freezes their development.
This article makes you feel sad, fearful and finally angry at the fuckers who decided to green light this experiment on kids. I defy any supporter of this trial to read it and still think itβs a grand idea.
