** TRANS IS A FLAWED DEFENSE OF REALITY ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
While Helen Joyce’s Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality succeeds in marshalling evidence of the concrete harms that stem from gender ideology, argues EPPC President Ryan T.

------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Policy Analyst Clare Morell
National Review Online
------------------------------------------------------------

By EPPC Senior Fellow Roger Severino
Newsweek

Norway’s election on Monday begins a two-month collection of votes around the globe that will tell us a lot about public opinion a year-and-a-half into the pandemic.

------------------------------------------------------------

** ANTHROPOLOGY AS ATONEMENT
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Fellow Algis Valiunas
The New Atlantis
