READ: @HPArkes_ in today’s @WSJopinion on Democrats unshakable attachment to transgenderism ahead of the midterms 👇
“It’s easy for voters to tune out complicated policy issues like deregulation, healthcare financing and antitrust law. In contrast, transgenderism can’t help but draw the concern of ordinary people once attention is paid: disfiguring surgeries and hormones with lifelong effects; males easily defeating or injuring women on the sports field; invasions of privacy and sexual assault in women’s bathrooms, locker rooms and prisons. And only an intellectual can deny the obvious truth that sex is immutable; it isn’t “assigned at birth” but intrinsic to one’s body, with the differences penetrating to the cellular level.
And no issue has drawn out as fully the differences that separate a conservative administration from its opposition on the left.”

“A morally populist politics would be more comfortable with moralism precisely because it would be more confident—with Hadley Arkes—in the universality of the natural law.”

Just as the philosophy of Aristotle is foundational to Western thought, it is also central to the mission and work of the James Wilson Institute. Scholar Alex Petkas joined our latest Anchoring Truths Podcast episode to offer a deep dive into the philosophy animating much of our work at the Institute.
