I wish someone would investigate the bizarre way testing for prostate cancer has become such a dominant topic in the media?
It’s a grim condition but currently universal testing would lead to MORE deaths due to false positives.
We know this which is why work is underway to reduce them.

It's a standard that has been adopted by large sections of the press as more and more derogatory language is used on a regular basis.
Even those who 'play nice' tend to just not use any pronouns at all for trans people.

Truly grotesque that the BBC chose to describe the *victim* of Graham Linehan's *crime* for which he was *convicted* in these terms. I can only conclude that this is now standard BBC editorial practice for referring to trans people, regardless of context. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I have complained as well. Perhaps others might wish to complain as well, fwiw?
I strongly suspect I'm pissing in the wind, but here's my complaint to BBC News about their use of this language to describe a *teenage victim of crime*. I even said I want a response, like someone who is *determined* to suffer.

In the span of a hour, they stealth edited the article from trans woman to "biological male who identifies as a woman." The BBC isn't fit for purpose.
It looks like that BBC page has been updated in the last few minutes, so that's no longer the last sentence. I think part of it has been moved to this paragraph in the middle of the article, and the age is no longer mentioned:

I know it's beyond "old hat" by now to recall the days when Barack Obama wearing a tan suit was treated by conservatives as the Death of All That is Decent and Presidential, but it's staggering how far the moral collapse of the Right has gone
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.
