The backlash against transgender ideology is gathering pace. Switzerland and Hungary are refusing to endorse the dangerous nonsense of “gender neutral birth certificates” and “self identifying”.

You’ve got to hand it to the Swiss: they’re a fairly sensible bunch. After all, for decades they’ve steadfastly refused to grant Swiss citizenship to Bond-villain-for-real Klaus Schwab. They also demand that Muslim immigrants conform to Swiss cultural norms. And they’re not falling
