Stonewall urged schools to ignore a document about health issues relating to pupils transitioning ALAMY Share Stonewall tried to suppress early warnings to schools about the shaky evidence base for medical transitions for children, The Times can reveal.

Britain Is Leaving the U.S. Gender-Medicine Debate Behind The Cass report challenges the scientific basis of medical transition for minors. By  Helen Lewis Hilary Cass (Yui Mok / PA Images / Getty) APRIL 12, 2024, 6 AM ET In a world without partisan politics, the Cass report on youth gender medicine would prompt serious reflection from American trans-rights activists, their supporters in the media, and the doctors and institutions offering hormonal and surgical treatments to minors. At the request of the English National Health Service, the senior pediatrician Hilary Cass has completed the most thorough consideration yet of this field, and her report calmly and carefully demolishes many common activist tropes.

The report drew on extensive interviews with doctors, parents, and young people, as well as o...

The Left betrayed women in Spain - now they face a reckoning The government approved a controversial trans law that saw feminist groups and opposition parties united in condemnation RAQUEL ROSARIO SÁNCHEZ    30 May 2023 • 5:24pm 83 No government can rule with women against them. This was the response of Spanish theorist Amelia Valcárcel to the  election results this past Sunday . Valcárcel used to be a Councillor of State but lost her position in March due to her support for sex-based rights. She is among a growing number of feminist campaigners who have turned their back on Spain’s socialist-led coalition government. Indeed, what started as polite objections has become a fierce, organised pushback. On Sunday, many feminist organisations called for a boycott against what they perceived as the Spanish government’s misogynists policies under the hashtag “feminism does not vote for traitors.” Pedro Sánchez , the Spanish Prime Minister, acknowledged a resounding defeat at the...
