In the wake of Enoch Burke’s latest arrest, an old and long-debunked claim suggested that his trouble with the law stems from his refusal to “endorse transgender ideology” or to refer to a trans student by their preferred pronouns.

Debunked: Enoch Burke was jailed (again), but not for refusing to endorse transgender ideology
Misleading claims about the arrest were shared in Spanish, French, and Polish, as well as by UK and US figures.

The fact that he was found guilty of criminal damage doesn't make the headline, and the person whose property he damaged is described as a "transgender activist" but Linehan has "well-publicised strong views on gender issues". 🙄
This is not journalism failing trans people - it's failing EVERYONE.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

There have been dozens of large, well-designed studies investigating whether childhood vaccines (including MMR and others) have any link to autism. These studies have followed hundreds of thousands to millions of children and have found no causal connection.

This BBC report is deranged! Even apart from confusing pronoun & surname (& misattributing that confusion to the judge) they completely misrepresent the judgement which stated that Burke was suspended for gross misconduct & *not* for his regressive views on gender. Is BBC in contempt of court?
