“Australian beach culture relies on several social phenomena, all of them fragile: a nonsectarian commons that is freely accessible to everyone, regardless of ethnicity or religion; a culture that permits women to dress scantily without fear of harassment; and a tacit system of unwritten rules that maintain order on the beach, including respect for the authority of lifeguards who have no special legal powers and carry no weapons. None of these are the human default. All, in fact, are historically peculiar. The kind of high-trust society that can maintain a beach culture like Australia’s is a rare and precious thing.
We could easily lose it.”

A parliamentary petition calling for my reinstatement as a psychiatrist at the Queensland Children's Hospital had 6729 signatures.
The Health Minister's response: “For reasons of privacy and confidentiality, it would not be appropriate for me to provide comment on current and ongoing employment matters of specific individuals.”
Whose privacy and confidentiality are you protecting @TimNichollsMP? I'm happy to waive my rights to privacy and confidentiality. I have nothing to hide.
Let's openly discuss why you are firing me for speaking up to protect children from gender interventions. @DavidCrisafulli@JarrodBleijieMP@DaleLast1@childhealthqld
Some pro-lifers support surrogacy because (often after multiple IVF children are discarded, destroyed, de-graded or "reduced") surrogacy makes babies.
But making babies shouldn't be our only goal.
Protecting children is.
READ THIS.
We're way beyond designer babies. Beyond just choosing eye color and weeding out children with genetic disorders.
This is #BigFertility creating a master race...for those who can afford it.
Dystopia has arrived in the name of "helping people have children."
holy shit. it's happening
you can now screen embryos for 900 diseases and traits including cancer, heart disease, IQ, and alzheimer’s, before they’re even born
you don’t just pick a child.
you rank them by longevity potential.

The Christian Super Bowl Ad They SHOULD Have Made
A group known as 'He Gets Us' released an advert during the Super Bowl which, whilst perhaps well intentioned, failed to convey anything of the gospel to the hundreds of millions who saw it.
Here's my take on what they should have done.

Wikipedia founder becomes Christian
The cosmological argument and the fine-tuning argument were persuasive:
"I was impressed by a lecture by philosopher of science and well-known apologist Stephen Meyer, who presented versions of the cosmological argument and the fine-tuning argument. Science says the Big Bang was the beginning of the universe. But whatever had a beginning has to have had an explanation. As this is the beginning of matter itself, it cannot have a material cause; thus it must have an immaterial cause (whatever that might be like).
Similarly, certain features of the universe that are absolutely necessary to explaining how fundamental natural laws operate are physical constants. Physicists tell us that if the values of those constants were different, then various things could not have happened; for example, atoms could not have formed, or stars could not have ignited and given off light and heat. But scientists have never offered an explanation for these constants."
--Larry Sanger
There is a great gulf between the Christianity that wrestles with whether to worship at the cost of imprisonment and death, and the Christianity that wrestles with whether the kids should play soccer on Sunday morning.

Eight years since I first shared my journey with the world, and more than 14 years of being in recovery from pornography and sex addiction. Recovery isn’t just a word—it’s a way of life. It’s a commitment to reclaim what was lost, to heal from what was stolen, and to discover parts of myself I never knew were there. Recovery is an ongoing process, a constant renewal where I’m always getting my life back, one day at a time.
If you’re struggling, know this: you are not alone, and healing is within reach. There’s a path forward, no matter how dark things might seem. Recovery is real. It’s hard work, but it’s worth every step. Reach out. Find your support. Take that first step.
Let’s lift each other up on this journey. 🙏

Churches that validate same-sex relationships normalize and celebrate mother- and father-loss under the banner of Christ.
One of the cruelest things you can do to children.
I still feel like I’m in the twilight zone after sitting in the Federal Court this morning & listening to a judge declare the erasure of women & our sex-based rights in Australia, in favour of the feelings of a man he calls “Miss Tickle”.
