LYFT’S GIFT TO GENDER IDEOLOGY’S CRITICS, by Douglas Blair. “Thank you, Lyft. You just made debunking transgenderism that much easier. The rideshare operator recently announced a new policy in certain cities called Women+ Connect, where female and so-called nonbinary drivers can prioritize bookings with female and nonbinary riders. Nonbinary is a made-up term for people who think they’re neither male nor female. The move comes on the heels of multiple complaints surrounding female safety in recent years. Between 2017 and 2019, the company reported 4,158 cases of sexual assault. Lyft said it hoped this new program would help women feel safer using the app.” Read more here.
‘PRO-CHOICE’ IS OUT AS ABORTION INDUSTRY REBRANDS, MARKETING ABORTION AS ‘FREEDOM,’ by Nancy Flanders. “There’s a new pro-abortion message circulating through both the media and social media. For abortion advocates, abortion is no longer about ‘choice’ — it’s about ‘freedom.’ This new marketing tactic — propaganda if you will — has even taken over the name of one of the most vocal pro-abortion groups in the nation. NARAL Pro-Choice America has rebranded itself (for the fourth time) and will now be known as ‘Reproductive Freedom for All.’ NARAL’s name change isn’t about true freedom or honesty, it’s about manipulation.” Read more here.
MOST YOUNG MEN ARE SINGLE. MOST YOUNG WOMEN ARE NOT, by Daniel De Visé. “More than 60 percent of young men are single, nearly twice the rate of unattached young women, signaling a larger breakdown in the social, romantic and sexual life of the American male. Men in their 20s are more likely than women in their 20s to be romantically uninvolved, sexually dormant, friendless and lonely. They stand at the vanguard of an epidemic of declining marriage, sexuality and relationships that afflicts all of young America. ‘We’re in a crisis of connection,’ said Niobe Way, a psychology professor and founder of the Project for the Advancement of Our Common Humanity at New York University. ‘Disconnection from ourselves and disconnection from each other. And it’s getting worse.’” Read more here.
CLINTON CONFERENCE GAVE A GLIMPSE INTO THE RADICAL MINDSET OF AMERICA’S TRANSGENDER ACTIVISTS, by Jonathon Van Maren. “This past week, celebrities, politicians, and global leaders met in New York for the 2023 Clinton Global Initiative. Unsurprisingly, LGBT issues were at the top of the agenda. One panel discussion … included writer and comedian Alok Vaid-Menon, who identifies as ‘gender non-conforming,’ ‘transfeminine,’ and (in case you’re not confused yet) uses ‘singular they third person pronouns.’ … The panel was an illuminating and disturbing glimpse into the mindset of America’s trans activists. According to Alok, ‘trans and gender non-conforming people’ are ‘being attacked and scapegoated so heavily right now’ specifically because the rest of society is jealous.” Read more here.
CANADIAN PARENTS (FINALLY) PUSH BACK AGAINST GENDER CULTISM, by Jonathan Kay. “I sometimes get asked why I devote so much bandwidth to challenging the movement that I’ve described as gender cultism—a faddish ideology whose adherents (1) claim that all humans are infused with a soul-like ether known as gender identity; and (2) insist that the self-reported nature of this spirit trumps the objective reality of biological sex. The most obvious answer is that this movement does real, observable harm, by forcing women to share prisons, rape-crisis centres, athletic leagues, locker rooms, and other vulnerable spaces with men. It also encourages children, many of them gay, autistic, or psychologically fragile due to bullying and underlying mental-health challenges, to indulge the gothic horror-movie delusion that they were ‘born in the wrong body,’ and to embark on a lifetime regime of (dangerous and untested) drug treatments and body-disfiguring surgeries.” Read more here.
