Curious how Sophia, (remember a teenager who wasn't on trial), being arrested by EIGHT officers didn't make front page news. She didn't get a supportive statement from the PM or the Free Speech Union for some reason
Here's a thread from Twitter shared with Sophia's permission in which she finally is able to talk about Graham using the police as HIS personal goon squad and getting Sophia arrested at home by EIGHT armed police officers, somewhat putting the standard Heathrow armed cops in perspective.

I remember the last cross-examination question was about whether Sophia had been arrested. It wasn’t revealed at the time it was literally the convicted bigot who SWATTED her.

New research shows trans kids on hormone treatment have less suicide ideation
A new report has shown that transgender youth who are on hormone treatment have a reduced level of suicide ideation.
The research builds upon earlier work, but this time examined a much larger cohort.

The thing about the Linehan case is that either the Judge is sympathetic to 'gender critical' ideology or British law thinks it's perfectly acceptable for a 57 year old man to stalk, doxx and physically attack a 17 year old girl.
Both explanations are horrifying.

Though this is nothing new - the BBC are simply treading a well-trodden and age-old path
In the UK Adultification is a well-established and deeply concerning phenomenon that disproportionately harms marginalised and racialised children

"Trans activist" - a whole lexicon just to deny calling us "people"
First he gets a pass to threaten/libel people, and now he gets a pass to damage their property.
He'll take this as a win, but as he's his own worst enemy, it's only a matter of time before he does something truly awful because he thinks he's been given permission.

To tie back to my comparison to other online radicalisation, even if you don't give a shit about trans people, the judiciary becoming increasingly partial on a specific issue should be seen as the canary in the coal mine giving the current direction of travel in this country
Like it was obvious when the Supreme Court randomly decided to rewrite the Equality Act, but I think there's a large amount if journalistic negligence that no one really treats judges as anything other than neutral conduits through which the word of law moves
