Two big pieces of anti-women news came out this week.

In Afghanistan, the Taliban has barred women from attending universities. Female students who showed up at the schools were blocked by armed Taliban fighters. The highest grade girls will be able to attain now is grade 6. Since US President Biden withdrew troops, the Taliban and returned to its old policies denying Afghanistan women and girls basic human rights.

• 12/20/22 - Taliban Ban Women From University Education in Afghanistan

• 12/22/22 - Female students turned away from Afghan university campuses after new Taliban rule barring women from higher education

Here are the Taliban’s pathetic excuses defending their outrageous decision:

• 12/23/22 - Taliban minister defends ban on women's university studies

Meanwhile, in Scotland, the government is also enacting law to strip their women of all basic women’s rights they previously enjoyed. Disregarding wide opposition by her people, Nicola Sturgeon and the Scottish Parliament rammed the new Gender Recognition Reform bill down their throats. Any man in Scotland can now claim by self-ID he’s a “woman” with no barrier whatsoever, and children as young as 16 can elect to self-mutilate and medicate to sterilization.

• 12/22/22 - Scotland passes controversial legislation that makes it easier to legally change gender

The UK government in Westminster has said it will not recognize gender reform certificates issued in Scotland.

My statement on the Scottish National Party’s Gender Recognition Bill which passed today. I was disappointed to see sensible amendments to this bill voted down and believe MSPs need more time to address outstanding concerns.

Some good news out of Europe:

12/20/22 - Sweden cuts ties with leading trans health group over guidelines for child sex changes

Swedish medical authorities has officially announced they will no longer follow the guidelines of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). Their announcement recognizes WPATH is an activist organization and not a scientific medical organization, and Sweden will no longer be attempting to perform experimental sex changes on under-18s but will instead offer “psychological support to help youth live with the healthy body they were born with.” New guidelines in Sweden will be published before the end of the year advising against puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgery for under 18s. This is in direct contrast with the WPATH Standards of Care 8 (SOC8)

12/21/22 - Switzerland rejects idea of a third-gender option in official records

In Switzerland, the Swiss government on Wednesday rejected the idea of introducing a third-gender or no-gender option for official records. Sanity prevailed.

In other news:

• 12/19/22 - EXCLUSIVE: Transgender Fugitive Who Spurred Wi Spa Riots Bares All

  Darren Merager, the trans-identifying man in the Wi Spa controversy, is finally arrested after 18 months. This article exposes (no pun intended) how sick and twisted his minds and intentions are, and what trans activists are adamantly protecting over women and girls.
