Happy Friday! 🥳 This week I’m doing something a little bit different, and that is share some of the essays out of my Substack archive as well as links to the articles I have published recently in other outlets. Since I’ve had quite a few new people sign up in the last couple of weeks, I thought it wouldn’t do any harm to re-post some of my essays from last year. A highlight reel, if you will.
Speaking of feminism, this is an encouraging step toward preserving women's sports for actual women, and the first instance I've heard of a man being barred from women's competition in any sport. The international governing body for bicycle racing, the UCI, has stopped male cyclist Zach Bridges, now calling himself "Emily", from competing against women. Of course, woke heads are exploding, but this could be an important milestone in the fight to save women's athletics.
I have to say that your picture as an eight year old and your current pictures are not all that different which is a cause for congratulations. And this column is a good reminder that your readers should feast not only on your current comments but on your past comments and your comments in other media as well.

"Eight-year-old me, learning how not to seek the approval of my peers."
I'm here alone, but I laughed out loud. Made my Friday morning.
I would be interested in reading your take on the current American obsession with "transgender" politics.
