Thanks for all the hard and good work putting this together, including a boatload of links. For me, this week, Kemi Badenoch is the absolute standout. She gets it, and her clarity and courage are, and have been, outstanding. I would say the list itself offers ample evidence on the question about progress. We are all having to waste a lot of time, effort, and mental stress, and for affected families so much worse, trying to defend the obvious. That this is not entirely over yet—that it even started—is ridiculous and abhorrent. But other than that, I enjoyed the play.
What caught my eye this week: “The Transgender Money Pipeline” authored by Gerald Posner. I just read this and it’s incredible as well as incredibly depressing. But yes it is worth reading.
While Old Bridge, NJ voted to keep their transgender policy, Vineland school district voted to repeal the policy, bringing the number of recent districts repealing the policy to at least 16!
It is kind of incredible how much of a polar opposite some of these pieces of news are: the WHO says there's no evidence for childhood gender transition, but California forbids teachers to notify parents if their child asks for a different name and different pronouns. Alberta proposes totally reasonable guidelines on what children are allowed and not allowed to do with/without parental consent, and at the same time the South Australian government just doesn't want to touch the issue with a 10 foot pole. It's just incredible to me that a medical, objectively quantifiable and study-able issue elicits such divergent responses.
On the whole, I'd say we're moving in the right direction, though. I remember that 4-5 years ago there was only one side that was being reported at all, and that was the trans-activists'. It's actually possible to find a ton of good, high quality information that contradicts the mainstream narrative. Thank you Lisa and Alejandra Q for helping with this task!
Honestly, I think the wrong direction is silence. We appear to be consistently moving AWAY from silence. Sunshine and conversation is the best way to let bad ideas destroy themselves.

Thanks for the heads up re: Badenoch. Well written! Good "forwardable"

Oh yes, thank you, will add!
Is Justine Trudeau the prime minister's equally evil twin?

Not much shocks me anymore but if its true, the NIH developing essentially "groomer voice" software hit me hard with the WTF stick
It seems things are moving in the wrong direction with a few exceptions.
