Welcome to the PITT weekly roundup where you’ll find a list of the week’s postings along with links to some of our favorite books, videos, social media, and podcasts.
If someone tells you that he is Napoleon are you required to agree with him? If you fail to endorse his delusions are you being Napoleonphobic? If he tells you that he needs a gun to defeat Wellington do you allow him to purchase one?
It is exactly the same situation if a man tells you that he is a woman. No one can change their biological sex. The mentally ill are entitled to freely live their lives with sympathy and care but not forced acceptance of their fantasies and never should they be allowed to possess deadly weapons. The recent Minneapolis murders of children are a result of ignoring this reality.
That was a very deceptive article. Such a shame that NYT just can’t seem to understand the issues and write about them with much depth or thought.

The hit piece on Riley Gaines was shameful. They should have included the picture of Thomas and a bunch of other swimmers diving into the pool.
