Children allowed to change gender at primary school

A piece in The Guardian. The title above is from a Telegraph piece, while The Guardian headline is the less controversial “Gender guidance for English primary school pupils permits use of different pronouns”. From the piece in The Guardian:

“Primary school-age children who question their gender could be allowed to use different pronouns under long-awaited government guidance on the subject…

The guidance will be statutory, meaning schools have to abide by it. It has been welcomed by some education union leaders, and the education secretary, Bridget Phillipson, said the aim was to provide pragmatic advice and not use the issue as a “political football”…

It says it is “not for schools and colleges to initiate any action” over gender questioning, and that the advice focuses solely on circumstances where a child or their parent raises the issue.”

Prison officer Ellis Eyles, 21, jailed for relationship with inmate

Our thanks to Bob for this. The start of the piece:

“An “immature” female prison officer who had a relationship with a convicted murderer has been jailed for eight months.

Ellis Eyles was 21 and working at HMP Deerbolt, near Barnard Castle in County Durham, when she helped Mitchell Ingham, who stabbed a man to death in 2015, by telling him the whereabouts of a man he wanted to harm.”

Our website Campaign for Merit in Business was created in the light of the considerable evidence of a causal link between increasing gender diversity on boards and corporate financial decline. Mike Buchanan, Steve Moxon and Dr Catherine Hakim (the originator of Preference Theory) presented evidence to House of Commons and House of Lords inquiries in 2012, the video of their House of Commons evidence session is here (56:50).

Jacob Rees-Mogg: “Labour Lurches Leftwards” (contd.)

Our thanks to Ray for commenting as follows on Jacob Rees-Mogg’s “Labour Lurches Leftwards”:

“Harriet Harman already said she wanted a female replacement for Rayner back in September (Not just a woman actually, but a woman from outside London): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c059z4g836eo so this latest demand is just her using the Epstein/Mandelson fallout to get what she always wanted.

She also has plenty of previous form when a role opens up of demanding it is filled by a woman. Here in 2018 she calls for Corbyn’s successor as Labour leader to be a woman and says men should aspire only to be deputy leader: https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/republic-of-ireland/harriet-harman-says-labours-next-leader-must-be-a-woman/a/115568200.html She repeated this demand in August 2024 when discussing who should follow Starmer as Labour leader: https://news.sky.com/story/male-labour-mps-should-strive-for-deputy-and-back-a-woman-when-picking-successor-to-starmer-says-harman-13193458

She even suggested the next ‘Doctor Who’ must be a woman in 2017 and said a man should be the female doctor’s assistant so “she could tell him what to do.” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4178544/The-Doctor-woman-says-Harriet-Harman.html

Lisa Nandy has also been prominent in the last couple of days claiming briefings from No. 10 were “dripping with misogyny.” Nandy also appeared in her ministerial role at the Paris Olympics and when interviewed by Eurosport the female interviewer mentioned that it was the first Olympic Games to achieve full gender parity and Nandy responded: ” It’s better than that from a Team GB perspective – we’ve sent more women to these Olympic Games than men.” https://www.tntsports.co.uk/olympics/olympic-games-paris-2024/2024/lisa-nandy-talks-up-the-power-of-sport-at-paris-2024-dreaming-big-about-the-olympics_vid2203971/video.shtml?welcome=eurosport (roughly about 1 minute in). Given that the cabinet is already roughly 50% female, Badenoch’s “Boys Club” jibe really doesn’t seem appropriate, and from their own past history, the parliamentarians jumping on the bandwagon seem to want far more than gender parity. There’s also the other side of the coin too. That Belfast Telegraph article states that when Harman became an MP in 1982 parliament was 97% male, well that is roughly equivalent to the current prison population in England and Wales. What are Harman, Nandy and Labour doing to bring gender parity to that gender gap? The exact opposite in fact, they are already doing everything they can to increase that gender gap, and hiring a female deputy to “tackle misogyny” will no doubt only increase those efforts to widen the gap even further.”

Louis Theroux’s new Netflix documentary about “extreme end of the Manosphere” confirms release date

Interesting. An extract:

“The synopsis reveals that the film “explores how key figures, including Harrison Sullivan (AKA HS Tikky Tokky), Myron Gaines, Nicolas Kenn De Balinthazy (AKA Sneako), Justin Waller and Ed Matthews, are helping to reshape young men’s ideas about masculinity and fuelling a resurgent global men’s rights movement”.”

Am I alone in never having heard of any of these “key figures”? Inside the Manosphere is clearly going to be another piece of BS anti-male propaganda from Netflix, following the risible Adolescence last year.

Police identify 18-year-old as suspect in Tumbler Ridge, Canada, shooting

Tragic. The start of the piece:

“An 18-year-old has been named as the suspect in a shooting that killed eight people and injured dozens more in British Columbia, Canada.

Police said Jesse Van Rootselaar was found dead at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot injury. The motive for the attack is not yet known.

Six people were killed and at least 25 others were injured at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School. Two others – the suspect’s mother, 39, and step-brother, 11 – were found dead at a nearby home.

Authorities said Van Rootselaar was born a biological male but identified as a woman.

“I can say that Jesse was born as a biological male who approximately six years ago began to transition to female,” Dwayne McDonald, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) deputy commissioner, said.”

Let that sink in. Jesse Van Rootselaar “began to transition to female” at the age of twelve. And now eight people are dead and dozens injured.
