Sadly I have to agree with you about JK Rowling. She’s been fantastic but we cannot afford to fall into the use of the language of gender ideology in public, no matter the intentions, reasons or justifications. There are no trans people and it is not kind to the majority to imply that there is. As we see on a daily basis, the ideology has been so quietly and stealthily embedded everywhere across the West to the detriment of women, children, gay people and society as a whole. The article on the civil service is a perfect illustration. If we are to make progress, we must be consistent and accept no compromises. To compromise is to lose everything.

So glad that RC schools in Ireland have an alternative to the pornographic content based on WHO and UNESCO schemes.

Thanks Dusty. #BeMorePorcupine

I have just discovered something and want to share it more widely. It relates to your outline on the civil service being captured ideologically and acting to entrench ideology. This observation is objectively true but someone else has found a way to describe the pattern more completely. This is Wesley Yang a fellow Substacker who has been commenting on the culture war from the USA.

He has labelled the process "a non-electoral politics of institutional capture". Basically he descries a long term strategy of instilling policies AROUND the electoral system so the public never gets a chance to vote out unpopular policies. That way the people pushing these bizarre ideologies get them locked in before the public gets the chance to even complain let alone say no.
