For more on Andrea Long Chu, and many other trans voices, see this video from Mary Cate Delvey (who featured fabulously in the previous post). It's long – over two hours – but Chu comes up early on as case number three, at a minute and a half in. "Getting fucked makes you female, because fucked is what a female is." "To be female is in every case to become what someone else wants."

Just stunning that a man in his 40’s is over the top joyfully celebrating beating a 14 year old girl. Congratulations to @usacycling for their leadership in developing young girls on how to lose to men. The Board of Directors at USA Cycling and Brendan Quirk are spineless… https://t.co/3ZtjOkUxoe

The group called on the venue to cancel the gig, offer “solidarity” to the Palestinian people and “reaffirm its commitment to ethical, inclusive cultural programming”.

Unless Jews are involved.

The Bristol Beacon has now announced that the concert has been cancelled, saying: “The Jonny Greenwood and Dudu Tassa concert on Monday 23 June will no longer be taking place. All ticketholders will receive a full refund.”

A spokesperson for the venue later said: “Given the small-scale nature of the performance in Lantern Hall, and with other events taking place in the venue, we do not feel that we can run the event viably with the wellbeing and safety of everyone in mind considering the potential for disruption from advertised protests.

"We apologise for the disappointment this may cause.”

BPA has hailed the move as a “victory” adding: “Public pressure works."

Threats work – if the venue is sufficiently lacking in backbone.

Talk of a Gaza genocide is bad enough, but "the Gaza Holocaust"? Vile. They know what they're doing.

1pt”>It's not like these people had some random "rightward shift"…they were the target of Hamas massacre and genocide. If articles were more clear then they would note that it is Hamas that sought since the 1990s to prevent two states and Hamas singled out the kibbutzim for massacre because Hamas wanted to murder people who believe in peace. Hamas has always sought to murder peace. It did it in the 1990s with bombings, and then the Second Intifada and then after Disengagement.

It is Hamas that has always been responsible for Israel's "shift" to the right.

What’s going on here is people presenting positions that they know will be approved by those whose opinions they value. It’s the same as intelligent Christians who use their ingenuity in defending silly doctrines, in order to be in good standing with their community.

For a short while – a couple of centuries, maybe – there was a dominant ideology among intellectuals that you should follow logic and evidence wherever they led, and if you were howled down for your heterodox views, then fine. That ideology is ebbing away, to my great regret. Young people are far less likely to hold it. Perhaps it’s the result of social media? Anyway, I know from personal experience that whenever I go to a philosophy conference, the younger people there will advance what they deem to be the most progressive positions, and if they consider objections, it will be in a cursory manner, with the aim of dismissing them.

It’s more important for Fuentes, and the editors of Natural History, to be in the right camp – the camp that disagrees with traditionalists and Trump – than to follow the evidence. The thirst for affirmation overwhelms the desire for truth, I’m afraid.

It's the same as the proud "right side of history" boast. Never mind the argument and the science, it's all about being seen as progressive and virtuous.

Also, what she said.

g to stack up. The condescension, overreach, entitlement and aggression of gender activists is eroding public support daily. Women are fighting back and winning significant victories. Sporting bodies have miraculously awoken from their slumber and remembered that males tend to be larger, stronger and faster than females. Parts of the medical establishment are questioning cutting healthy breasts off teenaged girls is really the best way to fix their mental health problems.

One seemingly harmless little white lie – Trans Women are Women, Trans Men are Men – uttered in most cases without any real thought at all, and a few short years later, people who think of themselves as supremely virtuous are typing 'yes, rapists' pronouns are absolutely the hill I'll die on,' rubbing shoulders with those who call for women to be hanged and decapitated for wanting all-female rape crisis centres, and furiously denying clear and mounting evidence of the greatest medical scandal in a century.

I wonder if they ever ask themselves how they got here, and I wonder whether any of them will ever feel shame.

e judgment painstakingly considered how the Equality Act protects everybody’s human rights and the EHRC’s advice accurately reflects this.

“Civil servants who find a law that was passed by Parliament in 2010 ‘impossible to implement’ because of their own fringe belief system should resign and stop collecting a public salary.”

Well quite. It's the law. Even civil servants – especially civil servants – can't defy the law.
