While polarisation here in Australia isn't as bad as in the US, we’re not immune from it. Both non-Christians and Christians are increasingly quick to judge and slow to listen. And from what I’ve seen and experienced, we struggle to disagree agreeably. It’s a dying art.

The debate about trans rights is not really an argument about trans rights, it’s an argument about truth. When you understand this, you understand why transgenderism has become the dominant issue in the culture wars.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) measures have created their fair share of controversy. While some claim that DEI is “designed to make people of various backgrounds feel welcome” in the workplace, there have been numerous instances in which the opposite seems to be the case.
