The story of Katherine Deves is a story of survival in a world that has become intolerant of free speech and has lost its connection with common sense. She is the candidate for Warringah in Sydney for the Liberal Party, where she opposes Zali Steggall, who won the seat from former Prime Minister Tony Abbott in 2019.
As Deves, handpicked by Prime Minister Scott Morrison, has received death threats and is vilified by Australia’s cancel culture movement, she resides at an undisclosed and secret location. So, what is going on?
Deves’s sin is that, once, she declared that trans teenagers are “surgically mutilated.” Of course, she is not alone to espouse this view. Recently, Alabama plastic surgeon Patrick Lappert also warned about the lifelong effects of pharmaceutical and surgical alterations, which make a transgender person into “a life-long patient.”
