Everytime a trans girl plays sports along her cis girl mates they go like: "Gigantic, huge manly man crashing through little, daint, girly-babies", even when she's about the same size as them. But when a 6.4, heavy-set adult man attacks a noticeably smaller teen, she suddenly is just an 'activist'…

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'.
One wonders what *would*.

when I say journalism is dead and has been replaced by PR I'm not kidding you.
This is literally a sponsored article minus the BBC getting paid (as far as we know).

It’s perplexing that the BBC is currently under scrutiny for a supposed liberal bias in favour of trans rights.
Here, a spokesperson for an anti-trans group is quoted, the article says that trans inclusion would be illegal (it wouldn’t) and lists an anti-trans organisation for more info.

Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?
