The author, 59, took to social media this weekend to state that 'nobody sane believes, or has ever believed, that humans can change sex, or that binary sex isn't a material fact'.

In one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s first moves as secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services, the agency released guidance Wednesday for the US government, external partners and the public that offers a narrower definition of sex than the ones used by many scientists and that aligns with a January executive order signed by President Donald Trump.

Queen Elizabeth I was known to be an all-powerful monarch, a warrior who defeated the Spanish Armada, a leader loved by her subjects and a muse for Shakespeare. The late Queen of England and Ireland - who ruled from 1558 until her death in 1603 - was so legendary that her reign was officially crowned the Elizabethan era, its very own epoch of the famed Tudor period. But one rumour has threatened to crack her tenable legacy, leading doubters to ask whether the Virgin Queen was the fiercely independent leader that history claims her to be.

After the lecture we went to dinner at a local restaurant where I sat directly across from John Money and we had a conversation during which he constantly alluded to sexual acts, genitalia, odd attractions, and fetishes. It made me very uncomfortable as a young student which he seemed to enjoy. I remember it to this day. I am 62 years old. In my opinion this man was truly evil.”...

In response, Augustus Anheuser III personally fired the entire marketing department at the company. “We have a very particular retail customer base,” said Anheuser, “they don’t like wokeness. They don’t agree that they should have to accept immoral people and their lifestyles.” Former marketing director Joe Barron says he doesn’t regret the decision. “Every company does a pride thing. These idiots are all jumping to Coors when Coors started...
