My tidbit to add (other than the election circus here in the states postponing my gig on Megyn Kelly) is I've got a small cohort of teens/young adults contacting me, after finding my channel lectures on child development and the misalignment "trans kids" has with long accepted Piaget stages of development. I have an ongoing weekly email correspondence with a teen boy, "Paul" and offer information and advice. Grandmotherly stuff like "do you get 8 hours of sleep every night?" So, a first for me on my channel, I got the blue Trevor Project box, warning about "conversion therapy." Since I am not engaging in therapy, but rather talking emotional and psychological development in the Formal Operational stage, I am wondering how I got that? I suppose it's a badge of honor~
thanks JL, i’m with Maria, these’s not another place where only good news is guaranteed, although, good news created from people fighting a relentless injustice.
I was just thinking of the power that female students standing up creates. It forces people around them to actually think and ask if its really fair that a man’s feelings should trump fairness in sport.
My partner encounters young women a lot and many are ‘allies’, and bright and talented etc, when she points out the obvious safe guarding risks often the penny drops quite quickly. So i hope that UK female students have the courage to fight this if/when they encounter discrimination in their universities.
What a awful thing for young women at the start of their adult life to have to fight for. What a profound failure from my generation. really a complete failure of duty of care. And for a generation to look the other way and pretend that its not happening. Really appalling
It was ever thus, CB. Women of all ages have had to fight and claw for our rights and equality etc and to make our voices heard since forever. What I find heart-breaking is how easily our oh so hard won rights and spaces etc are being erased. Often in collaboration with naive young women who have no idea what it cost their foremothers to obtain the rights and privileges they take for granted.
Hear hear JL and thanks for your efforts to keep us informed, sane and cheered up in this fight. I find it unbelievable how so many women are happy to give away hard won rights that we’ve had for such a short time, a blip in history. It’s infuriating.
Assuming everyone here is rooting for a Trump win next month. Because Kamala and the Democrats will be a nightmare of full-scale gender-ideology lunacy for four years!!
The good news supplement is one of the few things that makes me smile these days. Thank you for your work ♥️
Cheers, Marla!
As always 🌹

I guess it just goes to show how powerful our social conditioning as women is. Obey men... or else.
Thanks for the good news as ever, JL.
Loved the BOYcott T shirts 😊 Well done those girls
Dusty
