Someone asked me recently, “Why do you post so much about the trans debate?”
It’s a fair question and the answer, for me, comes down to three things:
1. Truth.
If we can’t agree on basic facts like male and female being binary biological realities - how can we ever have honest conversations about more complex issues? Truth is the foundation. Without it, we’re lost.
2. Protecting Young People.
As a father of two and a youth football coach, I care deeply about kids. The Tavistock clinic collapsed for a reason, and the Cass Report laid bare the failings of “affirmative-only” care. It has left many young people infertile, depressed, and abandoned by the system that was meant to help them.
Here’s the lie that’s often told: “Affirm them or they’ll kill themselves.”
That claim has been used to coerce families into agreeing to life-altering medical interventions they know aren’t right for their children. But the truth is - there is no solid evidence to support it. It’s emotional blackmail, not medicine.
For those who genuinely want to understand the full story, read A Time to Think by Hannah Barnes.
3. Fairness in Sport.
Sport has shaped my life. I believe in competition, fairness, and safety -
all of which are being undermined. Lia Thomas broke multiple women’s records in swimming while retaining fully intact male anatomy and using the female changing area. This is not isolated. It’s happening in the UK too.

I’ll share more thoughts soon on DSD, the rebranding of gay conversion therapy, and the recent US Supreme Court ruling.
For now, I’ll let the book speak.
