    This week in trans: NZ plans for sex self-ID on birth certificates

    Something must be in the air of my antipodean neighbour New Zealand, as her government moves to allow alteration of birth certificate sex based on the gender of the applicant. Rampant incoherence is certainly no barrier to this proposed law. The fact sheet explains: Now, it was my...

    This week in trans: The Lancet, the ACLU, the Guardian

    I've been wrong about the ACLU. I thought its commitment to free speech was at its zenith in the distant past, but it is so committed to free speech right now that it felt free to alter the words of Ruth Bader Ginsburg in a quote it posted on Twitter: Oddly, despite the executive director of...

    Portland police halt minor traffic stops, citing disparity

    I wonder what other laws can get the kybosh in the name of 'racial equity'? Emphasis mine. https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/portland-police-change-traffic-stop-search-procedures-78428906 Is there evidence that the city is discriminating against black people in traffic stops? If there is...

    Harvard Business Review: Women want to work from home too much, so don't let them.

    https://hbr.org/2021/05/dont-let-employees-pick-their-wfh-days God I love how leftists really champion working people, unless working people's preferences interfere with leftist religion. Then it's time for women to suck it up and come into the office, even if they don't want to or have to.

    This week in the strange death of Europe: 6 months prison for "Stop Islamization" banner

    The original story, in Dutch: https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2021/05/26/vonnis-voorpost/ I've used an online translator to translate the story. I have inserted [in square brackets] my own 'translation' where the machine translation appears to be misleading because of lack of context. Emphasis mine.

    Year 11 boys ordered to stand up and labelled 'oppressors' if they are white, Christian, and male.

    You might think I've reported on this incident before, but no: this is another episode of a captive audience of boys being publically shamed like the Brauer College incident. This time around, however, the boys were only publically shamed as oppressors, but were not required to confess their...

    The killing of Ma’Khia Bryant

    No doubt you've heard about this already. This article does a moderately honest job of relaying the facts, though it took 8 paragraphs for the Guardian to mention that Bryant had rushed another female and was about to stab her with a knife. Of course, some people on Twitter think the officer...
