Big Tranny

When I was a kid, there were boys at lunch and recess who were natural bullies but were too scared to bully the other boys, knowing they’d get a beat down. So instead, they bullied the girls. And they took out all their shame and cowardice on these girls by getting too physically rough with them, be it in sports, tag, or in whatever other physical activity the girls were engaged in.

Transgender children tend to be “white and privileged”, Britain’s so-called strictest head teacher has claimed.

Katharine Birbalsingh, head of the Michaela Community School in Wembley, northwest London, said her school was unlikely to have any trans pupils because of its mainly ethnic-minority intake.

Birbalsingh, who previously worked as the government’s social mobility tsar, told The London Standard: “If one actually did a survey on this sort of thing nationally, I think you would find that white privileged kids would be more likely to be doing that. No question.”

In recent years, a clear pattern has emerged in paediatric gender medicine: every country that has reviewed the evidence for interventions such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for adolescents has found it to be exceptionally weak, and responded by shifting towards cautious, psychotherapeutic care.

Here’s the latest in an occasional series on how Parents magazine, a popular and ostensibly harmless outlet providing child-caring tips, smuggles in ultra-left-wing views inside the diaper bags, views that are harmful to the very children Parents is supposed to be helping. The latest offensive entry, “Medical Experts Continue to Support Gender-Affirming Care for Trans Youth — It can change and save lives,” was written by​ Wendy Wisner and posted Wednesday. Read it before it gets flushed down the memory hole as well!

Last week, the English Football Association (FA) finally remembered why women’s football exists – and it’s not to let men who identify as women ‘validate’ their identities.

In a short statement on its website, the FA confirmed that, in light of the recent Supreme Court decision on gender, it ‘will be changing [its] policy’ on men in women’s football. ‘Transgender women will no longer be able to play in women’s football in England’, it said. The decision will come into effect from 1 June.

Elena King has been holding her first rugby membership card for comfort a lot in the past few weeks. It shows a smiling little girl, of Dutch, English and Scottish heritage, who has been in love with the sport since she was eight.

But today she is at home in Amsterdam, facing the consequences of a life-changing injury playing Dutch premiership rugby in January.
