Andrew Sullivan (@sullydish) is en fuego over what trans activists and their institutional supporters in LGBT organizations and among the Democrats are doing to gay rights. Excerpt below; whole thing here: https://t.co/Osb6QYWRC8
He’s telling young women they have to set aside their goals and aspirations, and prioritize the goals and aspirations of biological males. Otherwise the consequence is DEATH.
What are his solutions for trans boys (biological girls) who demand inclusion in boys sports?
Athletes with penises are more important. Always. When folks say it's a man's world the double entendre and the heartless cruel irony should not be lost upon anyone

Christ almighty: Let us call this biological male athlete, AB Hernandez, and all such athletes who invade female sports-- proudly protruding their bulging penises--what they really are: patriarchal invaders, exhibitionist trolls, misogynists, abominable predators, and Psychological Rapists. This violation has to stop. NOW
Jon Haidt @jonhaidt is one of the greatest psychologists of the 21st century, having illuminated moral cognition, the relation between emotion and intellect, the perils of politicization and viewpoint homogeneity in social science, and the roots of the youth mental health decline. That NYU students should protest this wise and brilliant man as their commencement speaker is a backhand vindication of his diagnosis of what's wrong in higher ed.

Iván Marinovic: The Stanford syllabus assigns roughly 45 pages of canonical Western philosophical writing in the quarter, against 500+ pages of contemporary work organized around identity, oppression and indigenous ways of knowing. The ratio is 11:1. https://t.co/cMjTspSJQH
A white male New York ‘Times’ employee filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging the paper had discriminated against him by not giving him a promotion because he is a white male. On Tuesday, the EEOC, now controlled by a Trump appointee who has vowed to help wage the president’s war against DEI culture, filed a civil-rights lawsuit against the ‘Times’ arguing that the paper’s efforts to satisfy its diversity goals amounted to “unlawful employment practices.”
The paper itself was first to break the news of the suit but did not name the employee who made the complaint. Reporters at the paper have been scrambling to figure out the employee’s identity, driven in part by bafflement that one of their own colleagues would sell out the paper to the administration, which has used tools of the federal government to attack the press.
“This has been kind of a shitshow behind the scenes — people trying to figure out who the aggrieved person is,” said another ‘Times’ staffer. The release of the complaint on Tuesday narrowed the speculation to Bryant Rousseau, a senior editor and producer on the ‘Times’’s international desk who has been with the paper for more than a decade.

This week, a report found that DEI statements required for academic jobs are in sharp decline.
But in reality, universities have just adapted the way they filter for diversity. @johnmurawski 👇

The UN's selective history of slavery exemplifies a “tyranny of guilt,” a condition in which the acknowledgement of past wrongdoing becomes an end in itself — a process by which guilt is transmuted into a form of identity. @Quillette https://t.co/AeS2Ici8ll
‘Hampshire College represented a bold departure from academia’s staid restraint when it was envisioned in 1965.’
But its progressive ideology is now the norm on American campuses, writes @johnmurawski 👇 https://t.co/hBu61Z5C4V
Hampshire College was a beacon of ‘progressive’ education.
Its closure amid heavy debts and falling student numbers is a cautionary tale, writes @johnmurawski 👇 https://t.co/hBu61Z5C4V
The Liberal Patriot’s swan song after five years of challenging the Democratic party apparatus to abandon extremism and return to reason and moderation. This was truly a case of the prophet shouting the wilderness.

As lawsuits increase, parents look to the US Supreme Court to weigh in on the legality of K-12 schools hiding student gender transitions from parents. @RCInvestigates https://t.co/P1XFdEllxD

I’ve spent the last year working on a story about the Mellon Foundation, the mega-wealthy private nonprofit that has a monopoly on humanities funding in America. The article, about how Mellon has held the humanities hostage to its progressive political ideology, is out today. 🧵
