Sex, gender, and sexuality are different. I don’t know why they needed a whole commission to discover that.

From a common sense viewpoint, if a biological man refers to himself by a female name, I respect this, but he also is a male until he has a sex change.

Apparently in the UK common sense could get you cancelled for a long time.

Today, the landscape of public policy regarding sex and gender identity there is undergoing a significant shift.

Recent questioning of UK Labour Health Secretary James Murray on Camilla Tominey’s show highlights a move away from previously held ideological stances toward a more evidence-based framework—within which “cancelling” isn’t part of the strategy.

This pivot—particularly from a minister overseeing critical NHS policies—coincides with the broader impact of the 2024 Cass Review.

The review fundamentally challenged the “gender-affirming” model of care for minors, citing a lack of robust evidence and advocating for a shift toward holistic, multidisciplinary care.

As political leaders reassess these definitions, it raises important questions about the intersection of policy, clinical evidence, and child safeguarding.
