Dreger’s new book is best understood as an anthology of emergent academic folklore, attempts to create lively master narratives chronicling brave academic heroes pursuing The Truth™ regardless of consequences, idealized academic essence narratives. Lessl hypothesized that this kind of folklore develops in service of in... |
Dreger republished her defense of Bailey, most of it verbatim. What changed? Dreger quietly removed all her conclusions about the alleged Danny Ryan fabrication, without explanation. A fundamental aspect of any kind of research is to confirm facts about all the people involved and speak with all of them directly. Just ... |
Everything we know about Danny Ryan comes from just one source: J. Michael Bailey. Dreger has never spoken with Danny, or Danny’s parents and sister, or Danny’s gay uncle, or the Northwestern student who introduced Bailey to Danny’s family. We are supposed to take Dreger at her word that we must take Bailey at his word... |
Danny Ryan has remarkable parallels to David Reimer, the infamous case report by Bailey’s ideological nemesis John Money. Reimer’s successful case report turned out to be a fabrication, and Reimer ultimately committed suicide. It also has troubling parallels to Kirk Murphy, the infamous case report of a child cured via... |
The most troubling parallel is between Danny Ryan and Leelah Alcorn, the transgender teen subjected to anti-transgender reparative therapy. Alcorn committed suicide in late 2014, leaving behind two notes. Her hard copy note was thrown in the trash by her parents, but she scheduled the other to post online after she kil... |
Dreger has compared children like Leelah Alcorn to a child she knew who wanted to be a train, all the time insisting she is an ally to transgender people. Bailey has been investigated twice, and his signature sexology course was taken away after he arranged a live “fucksaw” demonstration for students. In the wake of Al... |
Someone sent Dreger's book to noted scientist Lynn Conway, who is attacked in several chapters for criticizing Bailey's methods and teachings.The attached note says "A very personal 'Middle Finger' from me." |
Can an entire academic journal be corrupt and unethical? Dreger claims that professional bioethicists ran an unethical journal, so is it possible that her like-minded friends at the Archives are unethical, too? Zucker has a self-evident conflict of interest in defending Bailey. Academics have noted that Dreger had a se... |
Academics continue to claim transgender activists are persecuting them, but who has the power here? Gender-variant children, or academics like Zucker, Bailey, and Dreger? Academics don’t get assaulted and murdered so frequently that journalists rarely cover the crimes. Children who say they wish to teach college someda... |
Dreger sells what credulous academics want to believe and what lazy journalists and editors want to report. They’re uncritically giving these academics platforms while transgender children are committing suicide. I’m not going to name and shame yet, but those same journalists have been unwilling to give equal time to t... |
I’m issuing a clarion call for evidence-based activism, because history has shown that some academics can’t be trusted to tell the truth. I’ll believe Zucker, Bailey, and Dreger when I see independently confirmed evidence that the hundreds of Danny Ryans subjected to anti-transgender reparative therapy did not end up l... |
Brown University researcher Lisa Littman has become the latest cause célèbre for academic freedom grifters after publishing an irresponsible article promoting “rapid-onset gender dysphoria,” yet another disease model of gender identity and expression. Imagine a disease called “rapid-onset homosexuality” to understand t... |
Two new laws that allow California residents to officially change their gender identification went into effect this past Labor Day weekend. |
With retired Pope Benedict XVI sitting next to him, Pope Francis recited separate prayers to consecrate Vatican City to St Joseph and St Michael the Archangel. |
The early morning ceremony in the Vatican Gardens on Friday featured the unveiling of a new statue of St Michael, sculpted by Giuseppe Antonio Lomuscio. The project, along with a fountain by Franco Murer dedicated to St Joseph, was initiated under Pope Benedict. |
Cardinal Giovanni Lajolo, retired president of the commission overseeing Vatican City State, told those assembled for the prayers that Pope Francis had decided that both his coat of arms and Pope Benedict’s should be on the plaque marking the dedication of the statue of St Michael. It also is inscribed with the date, i... |
Uma Thurman is set to star in three short films made by aspiring filmmakers for a competition. |
The Kill Bill actress will play the lead role in the three competition entries for Jameson First Shot, a partnership between Kevin Spacey and Jameson Irish Whiskey, offering up-and-coming filmmakers the chance to work with the Hollywood A-list. |
Kevin Spacey, who has taken the lead role in contest entries in the past, will serve as creative director while Fifty Shades Of Grey producer Dana Brunetti will also help him produce. |
The films are being made by Kevin's production company Trigger Street Productions and Uma, Kevin and Dana will all judge the competition entries to choose the three finalists. |
Uma said: "What excites me about being involved with Jameson First Shot is that I love the idea of finding and discovering young talent - it's what makes the film business alive. |
"Even though we're making short films I don't think anyone should feel limited in this form; if you look back over my work I've been many different characters so people should feel completely open to write whatever they are passionate about. |
"I'm honoured to be a part of this extraordinary project and I can't wait to read the screenplays that are entered, and ultimately be the vehicle to help three talented filmmakers tell their stories to the world." |
Kevin added: "She's remarkable and I'm thrilled Uma has said yes. Her work has always been unafraid and brave, so it doesn't surprise me that she's jumped with such commitment and enthusiasm into our short film project. I think it gives our filmmakers a very exciting opportunity to write for an actress of such range an... |
The competition is open to entrants from South Africa, Russia and the USA who need to submit short scripts on the theme of either "legendary", "humorous" or "a very tall tale". |
For more information on entering go to www.jamesonfirstshot.com. |
Despite their claims of hardship, Hastings Borough Council has this year signed up to both a new street cleaning contract and a new bin collecting contract. Both are hugely more expensive than the services they were replacing, with both of the contracts combined costing about £1.4 million more than they were previously... |
This will accelerate the erosion of reserve funds that the Council, in wiser times, had stowed away in case of emergency. The emergency that they are being used for is the result of poor budgeting over some years, despite being continually warned by the Conservatives that they were not doing enough to control spending ... |
I have, over two successive budgets, argued that big savings should be made including on staffing, to ensure that core services are run effectively and efficiently. This was ignored and then even derided by the Labour administration at the time. This was a politically driven decision based on the Labour administration’... |
As everyone knows, when faced with a problem that is only going to get worse, quick action is essential and that is exactly what has not happened here. Instead of good budgeting and planning for a secure financial future, the Labour administration of Hastings Council has instead pushed on with ever increasing expenditu... |
The long-term future Labour have secured for Hastings is one of huge debt, with £29 million of borrowing, some of which borrowed over 50 years to buy second and sometimes third-rate commercial property in order to divine a trickle of rent out of them, as long as the tenants stay. This is in addition to the housing comp... |
Betty Hilbert, La Jolla Presbyterian Church Preschool Director, never thought she would be a teacher. But after 34 years as a teacher-turned-director, she will retire with full honors from the community, as the guest of an open house, 2-4 p.m. Saturday, May 31 at 7715 Draper Ave. |
She went on to teach third grade for six years. “I loved teaching third grade ... I thought I couldn’t handle the younger ones,” she said with a laugh. |
She took a break from teaching, believing she would never return to the classroom, when she married her husband Jim, and had two children, Anne and Dean, now grown. |
When the director announced she was leaving, Hilbert was offered the position, which she initially declined. “But they said (I had to) and that was 24 years ago,” she said. |
She’s noticed that over the last few years, the children she taught long ago are now adults and sending their children to the La Jolla Presbyterian Preschool. |
“It’s been a great experience and a great life,” she said, admitting that leaving will be “bittersweet.” She plans to enjoy her retirement with her husband, visiting grandchildren and traveling. |
Reminding parents that a preschooler’s brain, developmentally, has been the same since time started, she said one of the reasons the school doesn’t teach younger children to read is that at this stage of development their eyes cannot track words on a page — or a screen. “Technology has been the thing that has changed p... |
La Jolla Presbyterian Rev. Mike Sedgwick said Hilbert leaves a terrific legacy at the school. “One of the things that is always amazing to me is when I come into contact with adults who say, ‘I had Betty as a teacher’ or ‘My kid, who is now in college, had Betty as a director.’ She’s had such a huge impact on so many f... |
Sedgwick said filling Hilbert’s shoes will be “a tall task” for incoming director, Barbara Etienne of Carlsbad, though he said he is excited for her arrival. |
A former child development professor at MiraCosta College, Etienne has also had experience designing and starting preschools. |
The North American outing gets underway on Nov. 30 in St. Paul, making its way to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston, and Atlanta. The 34-date arena trek will continue throughout the new year, with stops in Chicago, Brooklyn, and Boston before wrapping on Jan. 31 in State College, Penn. |

The FINANCIAL -- SAN JOSE, Calif.----Adobe announced that Adobe XD is opening its platform to enable users to customize their tools with an ecosystem of community and partner-built plugins. Leveraging Adobe XD APIs, developers can now build on top of Adobe XD, adding new features, automating workflows and connecting XD... |
In addition, Adobe XD now tightly integrates with designers’ existing workflows via other popular collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams (Adobe’s preferred collaboration service), Slack and Jira Software Cloud, making it easy for designers to collaborate with stakeholders across their organizations. |
The open platform will be made publicly available later this year, but Adobe is already working with early developer partners to build plugins for XD, including Microsoft, Trello, UserTesting, Airtable, Dribbble, Silicon Publishing, Slope, inMotionNow, Astute Graphics, Anima and Google Cloud, along with its own Behance... |
To streamline and reduce friction in collaboration, Adobe announced add-ins for Microsoft Teams, Slack and Jira. |
Coming later this year, developers in Jira can easily access information on shared Adobe XD prototypes, and design specs, streamlining the hand-off process between designers and developers. |
These solutions complement a series of integrations Adobe announced earlier this year, offering friction-free workflows with popular third-party tools and services such as Dropbox, Sketch, Zeplin, Avocode, ProtoPie and Sympli. |
Adobe today also revealed the first recipients of the Adobe Fund for Design. Created in May, the $10 million fund, distributed in the form of grants and equity investments, provides support to empower designers and developers to innovate in the world of experience design and create plugins and integrations for Adobe XD... |
Initial grants and investments include individuals and companies building tools and services on top of Adobe XD to empower designers around the globe with several expected to be available in the product later this year. |

Among this week’s last-minute push for raising money for cancer research, Ennis High School’s Theatre Department. is lending a dramatic hand to Relay for Life. |
A benefit performance of the school’s one act play Still Life with Iris will be held tomorrow, Thursday April 24 at 7 p.m. in the San Jacinto Auditorium. Admission is free but audience members are asked to make a donation to the American Cancer Society/Relay for Life of Ennis. |

“The decision by the city council to approve the zoning ordinances was not arbitrary or capricious,” Hughes concluded in a four-page order. |
Councilmembers quickly hailed the court ruling as a vindication of one of their most controversial decisions. Councilman Jimmy Wetzel maintained construction of the apartments had been inevitable, and that the city was best served by annexing the property to gain a degree of control over the complex and an increased ta... |
Findlater had no comment on the development, and the city’s attorney, Ronald G. Davenport, also declined to comment Friday. |
The plaintiffs’ attorney, Richard L. Chancey, said he would speak with his clients about a potential appeal. Chancey had sought to convince Hughes that his clients were denied due process and equal protection because council enjoyed an unpredictable, “carte blanche” discretion over zoning decisions. |
Indeed, Hughes, in his ruling, referred to case law that says it’s “well-settled that the courts must apply a highly deferential standard” in reviewing zoning decisions. Municipal ordinances are presumed valid and reasonable, he added, and shouldn’t be struck down unless proven to be clearly arbitrary and unreasonable. |
One of the plaintiffs, Jason Long, said in a telephone interview that he had no regrets over the legal challenge, suggesting the Dobbs Drive dispute had drawn a more favorable verdict in the court of public opinion and persuaded many of his neighbors to voice their disapproval at the polls. Outgoing Councilwoman Michel... |
Plans to regionalize municipal services in Connecticut lack two things: One, a plan; two, the realization that it’s already occurred. |
Regionalization is often held out as a way for the state and towns to save money. The problem is the people who make this suggestion never offer actual plans. We all want to save money but that takes more than saying “regionalization” over and over. |
But more importantly, municipalities have already regionalized many services and there’s probably not much left. After all, local officials are under constant pressure to keep spending down. |
Let’s start with insurance. Almost every municipality in Connecticut gets its workers compensation and general liability insurance through CIRMA, a municipally owned insurance consortium. Municipalities are eligible to join the health insurance plan for state workers — about as regional as you can get. |
Many towns have regionalized school districts. Easton shares a high school and administration with neighboring Redding. |
In public safety, towns have mutual aid. Firefighter crews from five towns helped fight the recent Shakespeare theater fire in Stratford. Many other services are provided by regional Emergency Management and Homeland Security offices. |
There are many other examples of current regionalized services, such as probate courts, inter-library loan, senior centers open to all, the state bid list for purchasing, regional planning agencies, and on and on. |
Municipalities voluntarily share services far more than most realize. Those who think there are more savings to be had have the responsibility to put forward specific plans, not just catch phrases. |

But the defending state runners-up showed resilience both on and off the court to pull off a 3-1 (25-13, 23-25, 25-20, 25-23) victory over Mourning in a state quarterfinal at Golden Gate High School. |
The Mavericks (25-2) will take on Orlando Lake Nona in a semifinal at 10 a.m. Saturday. Should they advance, they would play in the state championship game later in the day at 4 p.m. |
Killian outlasted Columbus in a thrilling five-set classic in another quarterfinal and will play Riviera Beach Suncoast at noon in the second semifinal Saturday. |
Vazquez-Ugalde’s perseverance after injuring his shoulder during the match inspired McCarthy. The injury forced him to leave the match in the second set. In his absence, Mourning (22-6) tied the match at one set apiece. |
Vazquez-Ugalde reentered the match in the third and helped McCarthy retake the lead. He finished with a match-high 28 assists. |
Mourning, which was making its fourth consecutive appearance at state in its program’s seventh season, took a 16-10 lead in the fourth set and nearly sent it to a decisive fifth. |
But senior Michael Moreiras (10 kills, six digs), along with James Brooks (15 kills, three blocks) and Ozzie Fernandez (13 kills, five blocks) helped the Mavericks break a 23-23 tie and secure the match. |
Mourning senior Will Zuluaga finished with 22 kills and at several points in the game, made key plays that kept the Sharks in the match. Riain Festge finished with 28 assists. Mourning returns nine players next season and Rey said she has numerous players ready to come up from the school’s JV team. |
▪ State quarterfinal — Killian d. Columbus 29-31, 25-16, 19-25, 25-19, 17-15: Killian went the distance in a match against Columbus earlier this season before falling short in three sets at the GMAC tournament. |
The stakes were much higher Friday. |
Christopher Hallstrand’s match-clinching kill in the fifth set secured the Cougars’ first trip to the state semifinals since 2007 and dealt Columbus only its second loss of the season. |
Killian (25-3) fell behind twice in the match and each time came back to win the ensuing set and push the match to the limit. |
The Cougars got a balanced effort from its front line of Jason Harris, Hallstrand, Marquis Ramsay and Jomar Mondestin. |
