Excellent article explaining why girls are the ones who suffer in all these social contagion situations. I'm on a cheap subscription deal and don't seem to have access to share tokens. Perhaps someone could add a readable link?

That's a good article and the times are showing the comments on a share token again 🥳

Of course this is what’s going on. In a decade people will be hanging their heads in shame about what they were convinced to believe, and what they allowed to happen.

In each of the historical instances I’ve talked about here a fashionable and narratively satisfying diagnosis captured a profession and an institution. It wasn’t because people were wicked or liars or that there wasn’t a genuine problem. But a dogma was established which it was initially very hard for other professionals to question without being condemned.

This really resonated with me, it's like the establishment of a new religion. Obey the doctrine or be condemned.

Not "coming out" now - he positively reviewed Helen Joyce's Trans when it was first published, and did his "coming out" then.

He makes some excellent points there.

Whatever the panic, girls are always victims

Excellent. He write a book about conspiracy theories and conspiracy thought and has always been a clear, logical thinker. Good for him for putting his head above the parapet.
