Much of E. Asia are also home to people of Chinese origin. Presence of NATO wil create instability in the region.

    Perhaps our culture of self criticism and the desire to be better people tomorrow , the tradition of documenting our cultural and social history in detail with all its dark periods as well the light . These allow such an easy means to use our history as a lazy means to attack and undermine our confidence . Our Christian ethic of confessionals and seeking redemption for our acts perhaps makes us also more open to believing the slanders against us when they come thick and fast . We need to re educate ourselves into our history and cukture from a positive , perspective rather than the usual condemnatory one Our self criticism and need to be better people and better society is a virtue that has made us better people and we shouldn’t let this virtue be exploited in such a dark , destructive way

    Living in Australia, I can testify that our left leaning government tried to divide us by race with the 'Voice' referendum. If you voted no you were considered a racist. In short it was the first step with the next two being 'Truth' and 'Treaty' which would have followed. Instead of actually solving the problem by getting out into indigenous communities to address systematic abuse, physical/sexual and alcohol/drug. They would rather create more bureaucracy by creating new jobs in Canberra to virtue signal they are doing something. My problem is that my daughter in early childcare is being bombarded with Indigenous culture I'm certain ahead of anything of our settlers. As much as we have people like Douglas talking sense to adults, we have the left pushing their view to our children. What chance do they have if parents don't actively get involved with their learning... offering an alternate view.

    CASS: is not peer reviewed/a research paper that half way through has changed its evaluation criteria and where the approach because tof Dr. CASS was to focus on members of the republican party and copy paste their not LGBTQI slogans onto her own pamphlet, hey weren't getting the results they wanted. Subsequently still ignored the evidence from the totality of the reports and LITERALLY had a statement in it "that boys will play with trucks". ad that is meant to be a medical assessment now? And by all means...do explain how puberty blockers are dangerous for trans people but are perfectly safe for cisgender children? FYI. The rules about dispensing them are quite strict and limited in time. FYI. IF you really think research like this should be done by people who have no experience in that field, then I will happily volunteer to perform a world wide review of all cancer research and then write a report based on political innuendo.. And very odd how at no point in time she mentions conversion therapists, like Dr Kaltialia from Finland who is facing multiple indictments from former patients that she wilfully tortured. Make no mistake: there is a lot that can be improved about transgender healthcare. But detransition rates are well below 10% which is far better than any type of surgery you can think of. Do detransitioners need to be heard: absolutely.. Their experience is important to improve the diagnostic process and yes the diagnostic track can do with a bit of calm. But have you ever wondered why people want to get on with it? Find me another medical condition where, on average, the patient has to wait more than 4 years just to get an intake interview. It;s no different for the surgeries: I keep hearing how easy it is: just walk into a GPs office and walk out again with a surgical permission. Yeah, as if. In reality you need to be fully socially transitioned for more than a year before you can make an appointment to discuss surgery. Surgical permission requires a sign off by not one but TWO surgeons and only after obtaining those permissions will you be put on ,,,,yep another waiting list. I speak from personal experience when I can tell you that I've been on that waiting list for more than a year already with very little movement happening. Maybe prepare a bit better as journalist, because this really was more of a promo film or the gender critical movement who apparently find a 1^ demographic more dangerous than the 800,000 rapes that women across the UK have to endure on an annual basis and for which - AT BEST - only 1% EVER FACE CONVICTION. OR how they ignore that the money for their campaigns comes from groups like the heritage foundation and the ADF. Remember them? They were the ones that were singing and dancing when the verdict of the supreme court was read out. But you get your way anyway. While Murdoch is still alive along with that crankhead that calls himself Viscount of Rothermere.
