I don't like Twitter and avoid it, and don't watch many videos; they irritate me because people talking tend to distract from what they are saying.
I much prefer to read online articles in the mainstream media, and thought I'd post a couple of GC articles I've found this weekend.
There's the one on the Times: this is the link and hopefully someone will post a share token: I don't know how to do that, sorry, and don't want to copy and paste the whole article, for copyright reasons but also because the comments are worth reading.
Maybe this has been shared already, but it's no longer on page 1.

Then there's a Telegraph article I'm dying to read, also behind a paywall. I've just signed into their free trial but I don't want to subscribe. Do they have a share token in case they are joining the GC tribe? Article title: Was this the week common sense finally prevailed in the uncompromising transgender debate?

That's just two. I've seen a few on Christian media about the Younger case, and I think there are a couple Daily Mail articles. Perhaps others could post links? I think it's good to have media links in one place, instead of a thread for each article?

So I'm off to read to the Telegraph article

The Telegraph article is good, though not particularly in depth. They allude to RMcK, Yaniv, Martina N., Younger, Always

Their conclusion:
We are finally beginning to see the return of a two-way discussion on a topic that, for so long, has been at the mercy of uncompromising ideologues. Transgender activism began from a well-meaning place of trying to create a culture of tolerance. The great irony, of course, is that the movement’s attempts to silence and belittle anyone with a dissenting view has bred the exact opposite: a stifling atmosphere of intolerance.
It’s heartening to see people on different sides of the trans debate being able to express their views. Those who question the scale of change, whether they are parents, feminists or politicians, no longer need to fear the repercussions of airing their opinions. Finally, we can start a grown-up discussion on a subject that has too long been taboo.

Not the same, but I like Glinner's weekly? round up (can't remember what it's called) I think I've missed a few since being removed from Twitter.

This is an article posted on another thread about the appointment of Challenor to a senior role at a youth club for vulnerable children and youths.

Here's a sharetoken for the Times piece.

I think this thread is a good idea - links can be c&pd to more specific threads if apt. Perhaps it would be worth asking MNHQ to add the date to the title and do one each week?

Note that some shared links only provide temporary access (maybe a month) so quoting snippets of particularly key points (I think that's allowed) or a summary may be helpful.

In the dead tree Sunday times there were three articles so a whole left hand page. Page 16 in news. Page 17 was the “migrant deaths” “road to tragedy”
