Has the Met learned from John Worboys?

Claudia McLean: I transitioned — and regretted it Misdiagnosis is all too common

Gender ideology is intrinsically misogynistic and dangerous to children. It should go without saying that it has no place in football. Yet, despite having already cut ties with Stonewall and disbanded its Rainbow Laces campaign last year, England’s top football division still sought to launch “Premier League with Pride” back in February. Now, Linzi Smith, a [...]Read More...

The grooming gang scandal isn’t over Labour is looking the other way

On Friday evening, I debated Helen Webberley, who — no longer licensed to practise as a doctor — now calls herself a “gender specialist”. She became known as the front of Gender GP, a private service that states on its website: “Skip the NHS’s 5-10 year wait times. Get compassionate, personalised, gender-affirming medications in just [...]Read More...

The Green Party's war on women Magical thinking has replaced ecological clarity

Is it odd to choose one’s life partner based on an equation predicting the chances of you both having a content and equitable life together? Well, that’s what economist Corinne Low did. Last week, she told the Sunday Times that after divorcing her husband in her late thirties and wanting another child, she followed the [...]Read More...

John Boyne refuses to be cancelled Britain’s literati betrayed him

It should have been no surprise that John Boyne was longlisted earlier this month for one of this year’s Polari prizes, awards celebrating LGBTQ+ literature, for his beautiful novella Earth. One of the most accomplished living novelists from the British Isles, he is best known for 2006’s The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. However, he [...]Read More...

Did Pride protect a predator? Whistleblowers were ignored for years

Did Pride protect a predator? Whistleblowers were ignored for years

It’s long been known that the victims of the so-called grooming gang scandal were abused and degraded not only by the perpetrators, but also by many professionals. This included social workers, health professionals, and those in the criminal justice system. But fresh revelations that come as no surprise to some of us (myself included) will [...]Read More...

Meet Ireland’s gender rebels A new generation is resisting trans orthodoxy

The Charedi have a woman problem Yehudis Fletcher is fighting from within

I met Andrew Norfolk, who has died at the age of 60, shortly after his first major investigation on grooming gangs was published in the Times in January 2011. We were both guests on a television debate discussing whether it was racist to point out that the majority of perpetrators in these particular gangs — [...]Read More...

What I learned at Terf School Some 'feminists' prefer abuse to analysis

The “grooming gangs” scandal (calling them “rape gangs” would be more accurate) has resurfaced, largely thanks to a New Year’s Day report about Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips declining to commission a Home Office-led inquiry into historic child exploitation in Oldham. The decision was based on the grounds that it is a job for “Oldham Council [...]Read More...

PinkNews, the LGBT news website which prides itself on being the best “queer” outlet in the world, is in trouble. Today, the BBC published an investigation into owner Benjamin Cohen and his husband Anthony James, focusing on allegations that the pair are guilty of multiple cases of sexual misconduct towards male staff members. A culture [...]Read More...

Westminster Yesterday, I made my way to court to witness a case that will hopefully establish in law an important question: what is a woman? If we lose the case, we lose our rights as women, in law and in policy. The work of decades could be undone all too quickly. The case began in 2018, [...]Read More...
