THE DARK TRUTH ABOUT LGBT YOUTH SCOTLAND, by Malcom Clark. “The biggest LGBT organisation in Scotland is in trouble again. In the past few years, LGBT Youth Scotland has been accused of pushing gender-identity ideology on severely autistic primary-school kids. It has been caught promoting the idea of being nonbinary to disabled youngsters. It has even faced calls to be banned from classrooms altogether, after it lobbied to reverse Scotland’s ban on puberty blockers. Incredibly, these are not even the worst scandals to have hit LGBT Youth Scotland.” Read more here.

INSIDE JOB, by Bernard Lane. “‘The research shows that these [puberty blocker] medications are safe and work well to delay puberty, and their effects can be reversed if stopped.’ … So says the headline-grabbing summary for an ‘evidence check’ of medicalised gender change for minors commissioned by government health authorities in NSW, Australia’s most populous state. … How does the report itself characterise the evidence for puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and transgender surgery, such as double mastectomy?
