The dissenting doctor gives yet another example of the absurd and disordered times we are currently living through by highlighting the relentless attacks by the radical gender ideologues on J.K. Rowling.

It might be said that Rowling did not have to comment on the absurdity of the new Scottish legal dispensation, for everyone has the freedom to remain silent (a freedom, alas, too often disregarded), and therefore that, in a sense, she brought the nastiness towards her on herself, since it was entirely predictable. But if a powerful and privileged person such as she refrains from comment through fear of the response, the totalitarians among us, who are many, have won.
