Freddie DeBoer reflects in Unherd on the centre-stage role “neurodivergence” has taken on social media. The term describes a person who both seeks sympathy for and celebrates their mental and emotional afflictions. Via a book review, DeBoer offers a personal and thoughtful take that there’s still room in the middle to help those with psychiatric disorders.

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.”]

So That’s Why They’re Rioting

Laura Hollis at Arcamax knits together U.S. Democrats’ over-the-top terror at modest budget cuts and criminal probes of welfare fraud with Barack Obama’s 2008 promise about “fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” Looting public finances to support waves of illegal and semi-legal immigrants from impoverished countries with no history of democracy or economic self-reliance, Harris argues, are foundational phases in “transforming” the U.S. into an anarchic socialist hellhole.

More Evidence that Today’s Jew-Hatred Comes from the Left

A recent conference on anti-Semitism in Jerusalem was oddly welcoming to members of ultra-conservative European parties. For Dov Maimon of Jewish News Syndicate, it is a “dizzying paradox” that European Jews are feeling safer in “illiberal” democracies such as Hungary, Poland and Czechia, where civic order is imposed firmly and street violence is not tolerated, than in traditional liberal havens like the UK and France.

Blueprint for Alberta?

Writing in Jewish World Review, Frederic Fransen reminds Americans of a key lesson from Revolutionary War-era pamphleteer Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. “The colonies need to declare independence,” Fransen summarizes Paine, “because so long as their goal was seen as reconciliation, foreign governments would consider the Americans as rebels and the conflict an internal affair.” But a unilateral declaration of independence, Fransen notes, instantly converts mere complaints from an aggrieved group into a negotiation between sovereign states.
