While many outside Britain understandably might not recall the brutal killing of MP David Amess last October, Tom Slater points out in Spiked that many Britons also have trouble with the details. Reminder: it was a terrorist act by a Jew-hating Islamic radical. Slater laments the wider effort to “depoliticize” such matters, i.e., suppress open discussion of the facts.
Radical Transgenderism Takes Another Hit
The 11,000-member American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) – which includes hundreds of Canadian members – “has come out unequivocally against ‘gender-affirming’ surgeries in adolescents under age 19,” writes Leor Sapir in City Journal. The ASPS has also joined a growing number of international organizations in warning about the potential physical and psychological damage to children and teens of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.
[Editor’s note: Two days after the ASPS’s announcement, the American Medical Association announces it now agrees that gender-altering “surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.”]
