Using the BBC website to complain about their coverage of the Peggie case.
Despite completing all the fields required, I need to re-input lots of data.
I think that I might well just complain to OFCOM instead.

I see that the BBC is portraying the Peggie case as a partial win for her (if you can claim the manner in which Fife NHS handled her complaint as a win). But not really mentioning that the complaints vs Dr Upton were dismissed in their entirety.

We know the point of this legislation is to hurt and harm trans people.
I’m pleased that at last, some people are saying what a cruel thing this is to do to human beings, rather than just how inconvenient it is for businesses.

We should recognise that many of the premises underpinning the Cass Review, the policies that followed, and now the PATHWAY studies are fundamentally unsound. Any medical student could grasp these points within ten minutes of reading some textbooks.

Based on the facts recounted by the Senator, the two do sound “shipwrecked” for LOAC purposes.
But they were never lawful targets in the first place even if LOAC applied.
And LOAC doesn’t apply because there is no armed conflict.
