I want to commend my dear friend and compadre Lee for the vision, editorial wisdom, and gargantuan effort night after night putting out GC News. It has also been a joy to work with Eliza Mann, our other contributing editor, who has brought her own insights and suggestions to GC News. I have been glad to be part of it, truly sad to see it go too. Although it's been a big commitment, it's also been fun and interesting. Not only is it an important cause to help stop these terrible harms of gender ideology through awareness of the news, but there have also been so many other connected issues to ponder and wrestle with in these articles. From the school board meetings voting on gender ideology to some of the smartest minds on the planet picking it all apart. What it means to be human, free speech, feminism, biology (can you say gametes?) child development, dualism, tribalism, and many other often timeless human ponderings. Keep it up everybody. We'll defeat this in the end, and maybe in the process we will learn how to be better people too.

I’m very sad. I read it every night. Thank you for all your work you did.

Sorry to hear that you're closing up shop and stealing off into the night. 🙂

Though I do hope that all of the articles that you've "pulled out of the woodwork" 😉 continue to live on, here or somewhere else. Something of an important record of the craziness of the era, and of transgenderism. Would be a shame to see it all disappear.

In any case, thanks to you and your co-editors for all of your efforts.

GC News has been a great beacon in this unprecedented year. That said, as a volunteer effort, I know it’s been a huge project. Thank you to everyone who made it so terrific.

wow this is a blow. your substack is the best of all the things i read. i know you work hard. i often wondered how you do it. i hope you will take a year off and concider anything similar or not similar in the future. i also know this is a mentally taxing endeavor. especially for those personally affected. thank you for all your work.

I only found this substack a month ago, and I have been reading it every night - it's been my go to for finding the articles I might have otherwise missed. Thanks so much for putting in the many hours and persevering when the news wasn't always so good. This was an act of service. Best wishes!

Thank you all. I happen to know some of you personally and am so proud of what you have done. We must all keep focused on exposing these issiue, but each in our own way. I am sending "A childhood is not reversible" to each of my great nephews and neices as soon as I write my cover letter. At 94 I hope they will not dismiss what I am sharing and that the little ones will be safe. Keep fighting

Thanks for the labor and heart you've invested in this, and thanks also to those who've helped you - Elizabeth Hummel and Eliza Mann. I'm hopeful the tide has begun to turn, be it every so slowly. The tone of NY Times articles is shifting.

Please be well and know you're appreciated.

Can’t you just do one post per week? With all the best GC news. It’ll be sorely missed. Your efforts are very much appreciated, though, whatever you decide
