A teacher at an Irish Christian school, Enoch Burke, was suspended and then arrested for refusing to name a transgender student with a neuter pronoun. Meanwhile, new British PM Liz Truss is reportedly trying to block Scotland's plans to allow self-identification for transgender (self-id) people and has asked lawyers for advice on how to 'pause or prevent' the reforms. Truss, head of the equalities brief as well as a former foreign minister, was instrumental in ruling out [...]

Male-born 'inclusive' women's sport is currently the subject of a heated debate in the British media, not least in view of the forthcoming national elections (May 2022). The scandalous victories of Lia Thomas in America had already caused a stir, but the prospect of a similar case in Great Britain has raised the attention of female athletes and all women, and has also forced Prime Minister Boris Johnson to make a statement on the subject. In this case, the protest of the female athletes, expressed [...]

As in second-wave feminism, the issue of sexuality has returned to the forefront of girls' minds. Intensely practised in the 1970s, that territory was later abandoned in order to invest energies in other themes, first and foremost that of work. In the meantime, pornography has spread, especially since the birth of the web, reaching unimaginable levels of diffusion, heavily influencing the free search for pleasure of girls and adolescents. If for males the models borrowed from consumed pornography [...]

The UK government plans to force users of online pornography sites to prove their age by credit card or other proof of age in order to gain access, to prevent children and teenagers from viewing such content. Sites could be blocked in the UK or fined millions of pounds if they do not comply with the new rules. Opponents have objected that the innovation could be used to track users' pornographic habits, but the government has assured [...]

Since we founded Our Duty in 2018, we have collected the experiences of parents with children who would like to put themselves on a path that ends in mutilation, sterilisation, loss of sexual function and regret, throughout their lives. Their testimonies reveal how children are encouraged to embrace a transgender identity by other pupils, with the connivance of teachers and often deliberately without the knowledge of their parents. [...] We begin with the testimony of a mother of a boy [...].

The British Department of Health has broken its agreement with Stonewall: it will no longer use its consultancy (lavishly paid: more than £300,000 of taxpayers' money paid to the big organisation so far) to apply its diversity scheme in favour of LGBT staff. The Department of Health is the latest high-profile organisation to distance itself from the lobby group, which has been heavily criticised for its influence and intrusiveness into public policy. A Department spokeswoman said: 'The year [...]

Kathleen Stock, the philosophy lecturer at the centre of a controversy over her views on gender identification and transgender rights, has announced her resignation from the University of Sussex. Stock's resignation comes three weeks after a protest by some students on the university's Brighton campus, which included posters and graffiti calling for her dismissal. Stock believes that gender identity matters no more than biological sex "when it comes to laws and policies" and that people [...]

For those who still have doubts about the fact that gender identity and gender-neutral policies involve the elimination of women, after the pop example of the X Factor (see here), here is another rather sensational one. The Times writes that a thousand large British companies, including Unilever and Astrazeneca, are required to declare the percentage of women on their boards. The main reason is to assess and correct the gender pay gap, i.e. the difference in pay between women and [...]

In a letter to Sex Matters, Kishwer Falkner, chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), the UK's equal opportunities watchdog, said it had ended its relationship with Stonewall, the largest LGBT organisation. "As a publicly funded organisation, we have to make sure we make the best choices about our budget and we have recently reviewed all our agreements," said Falkner. For many years Stonewall has strongly influenced [...]

With 78 votes in favour, 143 against and 120 abstentions, the process of the Ley Trans in Spain (gender self-determination) has come to a halt. This is not a definitive victory: Podemos, which proposed the law, announced it would not stop. But the party came out strongly weakened by the recent administrative vote, a débâcle after which the leader Pablo Iglesias decided to leave politics. Podemos has lost much of its contractual strength. Hardly [...]

Girls and boys are privileged targets for trans-business propaganda. They are the ones who have to be convinced that they were 'born in the wrong body' and that they have to start the transition, first with puberty blockers, then with hormones and surgery. The propaganda has also run its course in many Italian schools, which are already organising meetings on the so-called 'career alias', i.e. the possibility of being called by a name other than the one registered at the registry office and corresponding to the 'perceived gender'. The "perceived gender" (identity [...]

While on Saturday 10 April in Vancouver there will be a non-partisan demonstration against the transition of girls and boys and in support of the father imprisoned (see here) for having spoken out against the hormone therapy administered to his 14-year-old daughter, in the UK The Times returns once again to the health risks of 'non-compliant' minors treated with puberty blockers, after thousands of therapies disastrously administered, see here (therapies are also authorised in Italy, but in our country almost all the media and [...].
