You admit you didn't know where the study was held.
You admit you didn't understand the context of what homeless means.
You didn't read the study and assumed it excluded drug costs and therefore isn't honest
And then lecture me on honesty and pedantry
You are jaded about homelessness

Trans communities warned for years about the NYT's transphobia, but the specifics of how this was ordered were often shrouded behind corporate hierarchy.
No more. Sweeney lays out specifically how the highest ranks of the NYT rigged coverage in favor of anti-trans bigots.

![You've talked about the paper's treatment of the pretty infamous Cass report, especially from your spot at the international desk. What happened in that case?
It wasn't on my radar as much as it ought to have been. I was starting to wind down my time. I left the Times at the end of May of that year. There was an awareness that [Hilary] Cass was coming out with a report. The day before it officially came out, there was a lot of coverage in the BBC and UK media. Cass was already talking about it before its official release.
The day editor's counterparts are in Seoul and London. My counterpart in London — who was actually filling in that day, but did so on a regular basis — assigned a UK reporter to do a story.
That was standard practice, to be clear.
[Chuckling] There’s so many examples of how standard it was. She assigned it to a UK correspondent, who wrote it in the context of UK politics, talked about it being very contentious, talked about the criticisms of its findings. Cass was talking about them herself, this isn't jumping to any conclusions at that point. It really put it in the context of being this very contentious, very political sort of document.
When I saw it, because we're a few hours behind, there were 600, 700 words written. I had a pretty good sense of how the story was going to turn out. But within a few hours the story was to the top New York editors, and I don't know who exactly it was who did that. I assume it was Carolyn or her intermediary. They said ‘oh no, we want the science desk to do that,’ specifically that was Azeen [Ghorayshi], who had been a key reporter in a lot of the other anti-trans coverage.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gm2gj4v7isgrlsww3ya7hpy2/bafkreiauimpnoaneahu2xoujps44cnvpgrbuuweyq764hwvswkize3jr7a@jpeg)

Whilst a lot of street homeless abuse. When they were put in a program and given housing. (Housing first Denmark) Over 80% rejoined society within 2 years.
The majority of street homeless don't want to be, given the opportunity.
I think you need to reflect on your assumptions.

You are making SO many assumptions about homeless people there. There are 382k homeless in the UK, 175k are children. Of course they are buying nice things for their kids. Street homeless is about 4600 a night 1.2%. People will be self medicating with drugs/alcohol. But most don't.

Workers + renters rights are a shell of what they used to be. Because of corporate pressure + landlords in the house of Lords.
Increased deposits due to pets/reduced re let time/no actual date for end of section 21 notice/evidence bar for fines increased. Making it v hard to fine wrongdoing.

As is mine, every sexual assault, physical assault, harassment has been from a man.
Please can you cite the specific cases of trans women vs cis women as it's the cornerstone of your argument?

But as you say. That is Male entering women spaces. At the end of the day there are nearly 100k people in prison for violent crime. 95+% men. 4% women and 244 trans people. So about 0.25% considering trans people are 1-2% population. You are literally safer with a trans person. Your beef is with men

The NHS was built in 4 years. Proposed in 1944 launched 1948.
Bearing in mind it was a post war economy, crippled by debt, ravaged by years of bombings.
That isn't the case now, and Labour could be doing a lot more. Instead they are fighting with Dr's and capitulating to Trump on drug rises.

So why after many years of trans people using their chosen sex spaces with no incident is it now a problem for you? If you are as you say, supportive of trans people.

96% of Lesbians support Trans people. They are actually the most supportive group. See the below survey.
The lesbians I know are gender non confirming. They see an attack on tran women's as an attack on all women. + brain scans of trans women are nothing like mens.
