When confronted with the facts by police, a 'predatory' man who was sentenced to 21 years in prison for posing as a teenage girl to blackmail hundreds of teenage boys into taking explicit photos buried his head in his hands. Jay Lang, 24, of Canvey Island, Essex, began posting under a false name on social media, posing as a 16-year-old teen. Basildon Crown Court learned that he blackmailed his victims into posting more explicit pictures or demanded cash. In a new video of the paedophil being questioned by Essex Police about how hundreds of thousands of innocent photographs ended up on his computer, he tells officers: "Well, you're supposed to do an inquiry." I'm positive you'll find out. Keep digging.'

Layla Jane, 18, says she should not have been put through the 'torment' of testosterone hormones at age 12 and puberty blockers, as well as surgery next year, and she wants to receive a refund from her doctors. She is one of a growing number of detransitioners who have come to regret their procedures and sue the doctors for redirecting them into irreversible therapies rather than counseling. With more Republican bills aimed at banning gender-affirming services in 2023 than in any year to date, whether to encourage drugs and surgeries for trans-identifying children has become a frontline in America's culture wars.
