And this: Both the Biden administration and Britain’s Tory government are funding monitors that label as sources of “disinformation” web publications questioning gender ideology:

What did UnHerd do to provoke the [government-funded Global Disinformation Index’s (GDI’s)] disapproval? After repeatedly asking the organization for an explanation, we eventually got an answer: “Our team re-reviewed the domain, the rating will not change as it continues to have anti-LGBTQI+ narratives. … The site authors have been called out for being anti-trans. Kathleen Stock is acknowledged as a ‘prominent gender-critical’ feminist.”

They did not point to any factual errors — their complaint was with the viewpoints of some of our contributors. In addition to decrying Stock, a prominent British philosopher and co-director of the Lesbian Project, the GDI email pointed to Julie Bindel, a lifelong campaigner to stop violence against women, and Debbie Hayton, who is transgender. Apparently the GDI equates “gender-critical” beliefs, or maintaining that biological sex differences exist, with “disinformation”….

In light of the UK’s extensively researched Cass Review for Britain’s National Health Service, which recommends against medical transitioning of minors given that most outgrow youthful gender dysphoria, and given the under-reported dangers and permanent harms of blocking puberty (not to mention genital surgeries and mastectomies) on minors, will anything change? Judging by the dismissive responses from LGBTQ+ activists, probably not.

Worth repeating:

And this:

The interview below is about an hour but well worthwhile if you want to understand just how awful child “gender-affirming” care has actually turned out to be, and the homophobic ideology that underlies the promotion of child gender transitioning.

U.S. medical associations, now dramatically out of step with their European counterparts, must be wrestled away from gender-ideology activists!

CultureWatch reader “Agee” commented:

The science is clearly going the other way (the Cass Review in the U.K. and the big study out of the Netherlands), showing again that most children with gender dysphoria outgrow it between the onset of puberty and early adulthood, and the vast majority of these kids turn out to to be gay and lesbian if not chemically (then surgically) castrated.
The scandal is how GLAAD, HRC and other activist “leaders” have embraced an ideology that promotes turning gender-nonconforming gay boys into supposed heterosexual girls (albeit sterile and unable to have orgasms) and lesbian girls into supposed heterosexual boys (also sterile and unable to experience orgasm).
The tragedy is that the lesbian and gay rights movement for equality and acceptance is now a trans-queer movement for whatever latest insanity is being pumped out by academic queer theorists.
