The theatrical meltdown over Elon Musk’s deal to buy Twitter again shows how free speech is now a radically dangerous idea to the Left and most of the ruling elite, according to Andrew Doyle in Spiked. Though hardly naïve about Musk’s challenges in cleaning up the Twitter cesspool, Doyle sounds a hopeful note for open public discourse.

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.”]
