JK ROWLING VICTORY OVER HUMZA YOUSAF'S HATE CRIME LAWS IS A VICTORY FOR ALL WOMEN

Suzanne Moore--JK ROWLING VICTORY OVER HUMZA YOUSAF'S HATE CRIME LAWS IS A VICTORY FOR ALL WOMEN

I was sitting in JK Rowling’s study, eating the biscuits her husband Neil brought us when she told me about realising that she had to publicly fight for women’s rights. This was at the end of 2022.

Three years earlier, she had become involved in the “gender wars” by tweeting her support of Maya Forstater who was being forced out of a job for gender critical views. This was a landmark case because it established that gender critical beliefs are protected under the Equality Act of 2010.

Rowling felt we were going through the most misogynistic era ever and had decided to speak up. This cannot have been easy. She told me, “It’s going to have to be me, isn’t it? Because I will always be able to feed my kids, even if everyone boycotts my books for the rest of my life. That is a phenomenally privileged position to be in. I consider myself one of the most fortunate people on Earth.” READ MORE AT JK Rowling victory over Humza Yousaf’s hate crime laws is a victory for all women (msn.com)

TRANS INSANITY---USUALLY JUST A PHASE--15-YEAR LANDMARK STUDY SAYS GENDER-CONFUSED KIDS LIKELY TO "GROW OUT OF IT"---AND ABOUT THOSE PUBERTY BLOCKERS.......

Even as more and more states — and entire countries — take a step back from prescribing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones with relative abandon, a landmark 15-year study appears to confirm that “gender-confused” children and teens are more likely than not to “grow out of” their feelings of dysphoria.

The Netherlands-based study included more than 2700 children beginning at age 11. They were asked every three years — into their mid-twenties—to describe their feelings about their own gender. While just over one in ten (11%) reported some degree of “non-contentedness” with their gender at some point during the study, by age 25, that number had dropped to one-in-25 (4%).  MORE AT ‘Usually Just A Phase’: 15-Year Landmark Study Says Gender-Confused Kids Likely To ‘Grow Out Of It’ | The Daily Wire

IS CANNABIS COMING TO CROTON...OR NOT? THE CROTON CHRONICLE

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Is cannabis coming to Croton… or not?

The combination of a court decision just handed down and the difficulties of a Croton High School graduate in finding a suitable dispensary location may put the whole idea on hold for some time.

MICHAEL BALTER
APR 04, 2024

Last October 4, Thomas Moore Jr., a graduate and former football player at Croton Harmon High School (Class of 2009) informed the village that he intended to apply for an adult-use retail cannabis dispensary license from New York’s Office of Cannabis Management (OCM.) He hoped to install the dispensary in the ShopRite shopping center at 440 South Riverside Avenue, in the location now occupied by a laundry.

The Board took up the matter at its October 16, 2023 meeting, where there was a brief discussion which included the legal aspects as well as the effect that a cannabis dispensary might have on the already problematic parking situation in the ShopRite center. Another discussion took place at the November 13 Board meeting, where Moore was represented by attorney Andrew Schriever of the law firm Prince Lobel Tye, well-known cannabis industry attorneys located in Purchase.  At that meeting, Schriever and Moore presented a traffic study undertaken by a contracted engineering firm, which found that the effect of opening the dispensary on traffic would be minimal—and if not, Moore would take “mitigation” measures to help with the parking situation.  MORE AT Is cannabis coming to Croton… or not? - by Michael Balter (substack.com)
