‘It’s totalitarian’ | Wesley Yang on the ‘successor ideology’
When a man can declare himself a woman, how do we know what is true or false anymore? The institutions we might once have looked to – from academia to journalism to science – have all rallied around the absurdity that we can change sex at will. Here, Wesley Yang – essayist and author of The Souls of Yellow Folk – explains how a ‘successor ideology’ has captured the liberal mind. It has swapped tolerance and pluralism for brutal authoritarianism. And it has redefined reality itself, embedding lies in the fabric of our institutions. Democracy, Wesley says, is our only hope of resisting it.

Everything you wanted to know about (biological) sex | Colin Wright
Can humans change sex? Is there a third sex, beyond male and female? Can a child be born in the ‘wrong’ body? The answer to all of these questions is a definitive no. The sex binary in human beings is an established biological fact. So why do so many once-reputable scientific institutions now say otherwise? Here, Colin Wright – evolutionary biologist and founding editor of Reality’s Last Stand – explains how trans ideology has distorted even the hard sciences. Plus, he discusses the Imane Khelif boxing scandal and the right-wing threat to scientific progress.
