There is no medical justification for treating healthy children suffering gender dysmorphia by denying them a healthy normal puberty when evidence suggests that almost all of them will simply grow out of their confusion while preventing puberty with puberty blockers is known to be harmful.

Both transwomen and 'cismen' are biological males. Some biological males harm women. Biological males in women's privates spaces where women are vulnerable and potentially alone will pose a risk to women.

Good to see Farage robustly challenged. Telling to see the feebleness of his responses.

"Iran has some Tomahawks" is a shit lie, even by Trump's standards.

Framing sex-based rights as a right-wing issue is a combination of media failure and deliberate deception - not a fact. Mainly left-leaning female torchbearers, LGB voices, and dissidents from academia and left of centre parties were all sidelined from the conversation. But things are changing.

With respect, the problem is that too many academics & progressives are failing to address the core issue - 'the demand that sex should be replaced by gender self identity for all legal and social purposes.' The use of toilets, women's sex based rights, science, and reason itself are all impacted.

New poll shows that the vast majority of people prefer straightforward single-sex facilities in workplaces and public spaces. (JL Partners polled a nationally representative sample of 1,500 UK adults online between 28th February and 1st March 2026)

Apparently, Lindsey Graham's drunken Fox News bullshit isn't working in the more clear-eyed Middle East.

To be clear: Signal’s encryption and infrastructure have not been compromised and remain robust. These attacks were executed via sophisticated phishing campaigns, designed to trick users into sharing information – SMS codes and/or Signal PIN – to gain access to users’ accounts. 2/7

Steve Laws says "we now have immigration being referred to as a genocide on mainstream TV. A positive step forward"

Laws advocates of "total remigration" of all migrants and ethnic minorities, and racial abuse, online + offline, to let people know they are unwelcome. He is a Restore Britain member

We need your drone interceptors for our war, but we won’t thank you and our propaganda will claim that we made them.

Surely this means that medical insurers will start to get edgy about insuring private doctors who are still prescribing puberty blockers to under 18s?

Dr Michael Biggs
University of Oxford:
'Before the introduction of
puberty blockers, around four fifths of young children with gender dysphoria would grow out of it naturally, typically becoming gay, lesbian, or bisexual adults (e.g. Zucker 2019).'

NHS England pauses new referrals for masculinising or feminising hormone treatment in under-18s Review finds evidence does not back use of treatment for 16 and 17-year-olds with gender incongruence or dysphoria The NHS is pausing new referrals for masculinising or feminising hormone treatment for 16 and 17-year-olds after an in-depth review found there was insufficient evidence to support its continued use. Prescriptions for hormones had been available in England for under-18s with a diagnosis of gender incongruence or dysphoria who met certain criteria. Continue reading...

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

I thought this was a joke, but "Ms Badenoch has ranked MPs based on how well they are performing on X" is an actual quote from this article.

Farage misses out on Trump meeting as their relationship cools British populist politician aimed to reinforce his view about the UK’s Chagos Islands deal in conversation with US president

Farage misses out on Trump meeting as their relationship cools.
Rather than receiving a formal invite to meet Trump, Farage was in fact only invited to Mar-a-Lago by a member of the club.

Infringing women's and gay rights even though self ID has not been legalised.
Encouraging gender non-conforming children to consider they might have been born in the wrong body.
Undermining science & reason with pseudo science.

No need to go abroad. UK activists have been imposing self ID using alienating techniques like social shaming. Result:
Toxicity, cancellation, threats of violence
Harmful irreversible medical treatment of healthy youngsters.
Violent rapists in women's jails
Proliferation of disputes & push back

It's not about telling young people they are they are wrong, its about open debate of the core issues and letting them decide for themselves. Toilets are a deflection, a way of avoiding the weakness of the gender movements arguments.

The gender movement is clearly irrational, anti-reason, authoritarian and harmful to the well being of our young people. Its success depends on the deceit of persuading those young people that it's all about being kind to a minority group. >>>

Why do people assume there will be mid-term elections? Trump and most of Trump's administration have been breaking the law big time - they are not going to risk having free and fair elections.

Has everyone twigged that Iran has four times the land area, twice the population and much more rugged and mountainous terrain than Iraq not to mention likely more ideologically driven armed forces. Bush/Blair failed to manage the aftermath of the Iraq war. Starmer doesn't need advice from Blair.
