Trans ideology was wired into English law by the Gender Recognition Act two decades ago. Progressives will weaponise liberal compassion for illiberal ends on this issue for as long as it remains in force.

A refreshingly novel take on #NatConUK . Dan is right about the youthfulness of the gathering - just over 40% of people attending were under 30 (and several of the speakers were too).

Unexpected youthfulness, the disembodied voice of R.H. Tawney, searching for coffee with Danny Kruger, joke-stealing, a symbolic whale skeleton, English understatement and the first transhumanist technology. What I saw at NatCon:

A perceptive and broadly accurate snapshot of the contours of today’s postliberal landscape, which - as the author sees - is a political Wild West. What’s clearer is that the energy right now is on the side of those of us who recognise that liberalism is on life-support.
