1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman.

This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces.

BBC Now Calling Trans Women 'Biological Males Who Identify As Women'
These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.

A trans teen in Iowa completed suicide after severe bullying by classmates and teachers.

"Miles’ death came a day after a substitute teacher refused to use his preferred pronouns."

It's the type of bullying @thefireorg.bsky.social and @aricohn.com support.

Transphobes are already targeting the biggest star in women's soccer and baselessly alleging she's a man because she's Black. This is what trans people warned would happen. Gender policing that becomes explicitly racial.

A trans woman was murdered by a man who kept taunting her for not being a woman.

This is exactly the kind of hate that has been incited by Matt Walsh, JK Rowling, and Chaya Raichik.

They got exactly what they wanted, a dead trans person killed because of hate.

Klingbeil geht mal wieder voll rein in die alte Spaltung: „Arbeitende“ vs. „Faule“. Nur: Ein großer Teil der Bürgergeld-Beziehenden arbeitet längst. Für Hungerlohn. Das sind Menschen, die schuften und trotzdem beim Jobcenter betteln müssen, weil der Arbeitgeber nicht genug zahlt. Der andere Teil?⤵️

I'm currently in Amsterdam and I went by the Anne Franke house. Her and her sister didn't die in a gas chamber, they died of typhus after being severely weakened and emaciated from starvation.

Even in the worst horrors, starvation doesn't directly kill, it's the diseases that kill them.
I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

Whenever I see someone talk about how awful celebrity magazines were in the early 2000s about women’s bodies I wholeheartedly agree—but it’s gotten so much worse since then. Both celebrities and non-celebrity women (and men) are judged more harshly, online, 24/7, coming from way more people

Wenn Live Faktenchecks so schwer sind und eure Interviewer schamlos angelogen werden, dann solltet ihr vielleicht einfach keine Live Interviews mehr machen, sondern diese nur noch aufzeichnen und anschließend mit Faktencheck ausstrahlen.

Nur so als Tipp, lieber ÖRR.

Der eigentliche Skandal ist doch, dass die Vorsitzende einer gesichert rechtsextremen Partei im öffentlich rechtlichen Rundfunk sprechen darf.

Und richtig ärgerlich ist es, dass ich diese Propaganda auch noch über meine Gebühren mitfinanzieren muss.

Liebe Menschen, die sagen "Lass die AfD doch erstmal an die Macht kommen, dann entzaubern die sich schon selbst",
an Trump sehen wir es gerade (mal wieder) sehr deutlich: Faschisten gehören zum Wohle der Demokratie und der Menschheit nicht an die Macht sondern in ein Gefängnis.
Mit den Bombenangriffen auf Irans Atomanlagen stürzt US-Präsident Donald Trump sein Land in einen neuen Nahostkrieg. Es ist ein kalkuliertes Risiko – doch könnte dramatisch daneben gehen.
