Although the current backlash against transgender women (trans women) has its roots in a branch of feminism, it is no longer arguably a “feminist” discussion. In fact, there’s a considerable argument that it now exists as a patriarchal movement intended to re-establish the dominance of men in western society. First,

Dead Wild Roses: The Shameful Persecution of Posie Parker in New Zealand – Brenden O’Neill
The queer radical gender cult decided that violence was the answer to a woman trying to speak her mind. This is not the way issues and disputed are mediated in a civilized society. Transgender ideology and so many of adherents have made it abundantly clear that they exist to wage

I read this book last year, and have been recommending it nonstop, so it’s about time to commit it to wmtc. My Notorious Life was an obvious book for me to love — or to hate. Much historical fiction feels contrived to me. An author takes a period of history, writes

Judith Heumann, one of the founders and primary movers of the disability rights movement, died recently at the too-young age of 75. Judith Heumann was a force of nature. She was the consummate activist — a brilliant communicator, a charismatic organizer, and a warm, compassionate, attentive person. Judy was the

Some sound advice from the author Mama Ain’t Playin’ Stopping the infiltration of gender ideology into our schools and institutions will require people to work together and support each other in their defense of well…, the material reality we all share. Start small and be honest with yourself and those

The New York Times has a great opinion piece on the wrongful demonization of JK Rowling. Her crime? Standing up for the rights of women. “This campaign against Rowling is as dangerous as it is absurd. The brutal stabbing of Salman Rushdie last summer is a forceful reminder of

The chronically fragile have been working overtime in Canada as of late (thanks to the National Post for the article). Apparently respecting the material reality we all share can get you in trouble with the authorities as Josh Alexander found out. “That Canada is becoming less tolerant comes as no

The political right wing's inability to understand things beyond simplistic bromides has always surprised me. I get that it makes for easy sound bite politicking, but seriously, the conclusions drawn are often laughable in their implausibility. Then we come to today's entry in "what stupidity will they say today?": The

Season 5 of “Yellowstone” is streaming now. I love this show, and I’m waiting for the full season to post on Prime before I bingeing this latest season. I was surprised to learn that the current take on Yellowstone describes it as right-wing — that claimes the show espouses right-wing

Gods of the Upper Air: How a Circle of Renegade Anthropologists Reinvented Race, Sex, and Gender in the Twentieth Century by Charles King is a compelling, fascinating, impeccably researched, and thoroughly readable work of narrative nonfiction. It is one of the very best nonfiction books I’ve read. I borrowed it from

I was very saddened by the news that Barbara Ehrenreich had died earlier this month. She was one of my favourite thinkers and writers, and I found it difficult to bundle my thoughts and feelings into a tribute. From her last book, Natural Causes: An Epidemic of Wellness, the Certainty of

I hope Ms.Bartosch is right. The loonery that is gender ideology needs to be stripped of its untouchable status and relegated to the back burner with the rest of religious cock-a-doodle.

Many years ago, at one of our wmtc parties, I was chatting with a new guest, the spouse of a friend. We had never met before, and they didn’t know anyone else at the party. Wanting to be a good host, I made it a point to spend some time
