A few days late for International Pronouns Day, here is my pronoun piece from last year. About how to write to organisations who suggest you show your allegiance to one side of a contentious argument.

The blurring of the distinctions between male and female and man and machine are both simply the latest consequences of an anti-teleological philosophy of nature that has deceptively cloaked itself in the mantle of science since early modernity. More here: claremontreviewofbooks.com/g…

Thank you Hannah. Great article. I followed the ET with @tribunaltweets
I’m curious how Cass reconciles her criticism of this debacle while supervising a government PB trial with young children who’ve been given vouchers as rewards for taking part?

If you read this essay carefully, you'll see that his so-called gender dysphoria and body dysmorphia are names he gives to feelings of shame. Shame about feeling like a weird outsider due to his autism and shame instilled by his religion over normal adolescent sexual urges (probably reinforced by cultural messaging around "toxic masculinity").
We need to lose these concretized diagnostic labels and talk about how feelings of shame and a sense of being damaged, or different in a bad way, can drive the wish to transition. That's actually the topic of my presentation at the upcoming @segm_ebm conference in Washington DC.

Absolutely this 👇. Why do people who wouldn’t dream of making any other sort of divisive declaration in an email, think pronouns are simply inclusive.
Spoiler: they are not thinking. They mean well, but so often have not thought. This is *always* worth questioning.
The same should apply to pronouns in emails.
I apply this prohibition to myself. It’s tempting to have a gender critical email signature, but I am able to see that doing this risks alienating the recipient. If they are a student, that’s out of order. 1/2 telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10…

When did protecting one person's dignity require sacrificing another's dignity?
Thanks for asking.
When transvestite men demanded the NHS place them with women, and cross dressing became a fun option for sexual predators.

We have now written an open letter to the Bridget Phillipson regarding the misinformation that appeared in her article on the conversion practices bill this weekend.
This level of nonsense in public debates is getting ridiculous and it is time she and her officials sorted it.
1/ We’ve written to the Secretary of State for Equalities concerning misinformation that appeared in an article she wrote over the weekend. It’s important that the debate around the draft conversion bill is accurate and the Minister should promote this.

Can’t help thinking this whole thing could have been avoided if the headmaster had just bought those kids a pencil sharpener when they asked.

About to start talking about the Conversion Practices Bill - but not so much a #BattleofIdeas I suspect. If anyone in this room thinks the Bill is a good idea I hope they will explain why!

Lunch listening to Burnham's gaseous Scottish 'reindustralization' speech.
UK industries closing due to soaring energy costs and young workers can't afford rent, but Burnham drones on about devolution, as if his government's current policies have nothing to contribute and/

It's very important, when protesting against capitalism, to loot shops selling designer clothes.
I wonder if Macron is planning on actually saying anything?

There’s a mighty lot of waffling, wombling and obfuscating in this parliamentary discussion of the Fonagy review, but it’s an informative watch for those who are interested in mental health reform. Concerning to see schools increasingly positioned as therapy centres rather than sites of knowledge production. It seems that education is to become an extension of the health service, and some MPs were keen to learn how the therapeutic ethos could be imported to the workplace too!

This is the key point. The space that children/teens were previously granted to explore themselves in an unpressured manner has been removed by adults. This has been devastating esp for those children who don't naturally "fit in".
Children need our protection from those adults who colonise their developmental space.

This was the section in the 2015 film where it was clear a feminine boy was being gaslit by his mum who insists on calling him 'she'. Theroux later questions whether Coll "had ever been trans". Unfortunately, his 2020 follow-up bought trans ideology hook, line and sinker.

In the end the fresh legal advice did not result in changes to the new Definition of Transphobia. Perhaps even the @libdems decided that altering their constitution to insist members must believe in the ability of humans to change sex might damage their electoral prospects.

Last few weeks, I've been compiling and drafting evidence for the Conversion Practices Bill.
We've got a slew of testimonials from parents, social workers, police officers, therapist, and young LGB people.
I'm incredibly proud I've been able to help.

This one from @nickwallis is well worth it for getting up to speed with the Brighton WellBN whistleblowing case. As well as containing a few jaw dropping moments from the former chief exec of @NHS_Sussex…
NHS abandons weird idea that evidence-based medicine is just an opinion.
That and more wonders from the first day of Adam Doyle's evidence to Redvers v NHS Sussex:

Unfortunately, the second one. A good parallel is the recovered memory incident, it still lurks in the shadows with quacks hoisting it into the light here and there. Gender ideology might linger more than any other social contagion because it taps into something so corporeal and it carries a lot of markers from Jungian psychotherapy. It's basically a sort of commodification of "true self" and/or divine feminine/masculine. It seemingly offers a shortcut to individuation, which is extremely tempting, even more so if you don't know what it is.

Given the recent injunction to declare pronouns from a staff member @cabinetofficeuk, here is a breakdown of some of the problems with organisations being less than neutral in this way. & suggested wording of you want to raise this with your own employer. aletheia70.substack.com/p/ta…
