  • “The witch trials of J.K. Rowling continue” – In Quillette, Holly Lawford-Smith dissects a lengthy YouTube attack on gender-critical feminists that claims Rowling’s position channels a “crypto-reactionary backlash disguising itself as feminism”.
  • “Maybelline faces calls for a boycott after marketing partnership with Dylan Mulvaney” – Maybelline is the latest company to be threatened with a public boycott after sponsoring transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney to post a video online promoting its make-up, according to MailOnline.
  • “Denying the sexes is bigger than bathrooms and sports. It’s about forcing all of us to live a lie” – We are fighting not just a culture war but a war for rationality, science and norms, writes Rebecca Velo in the Federalist.
  • “If I’ve saved one child from being injured, then it’s worth it. If it’s cost me my political career, then so be it” – In an interview with GB News, Andrew Bridgen stands by his decision to challenge Government Covid vaccine policies despite the consequences he is facing.
