The BBC and Herald are both linking arms in a journalistic hit on the judge of the Sandie Peggie case in which both struggle to pretend that alterations to the judgement which include changing a capital letter to a lower case letter should be considered an issue of major judicial malpractice.

“He raped me.”

“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”

“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”

Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

It looks like the UK playbook because they're both using the same playbook.

An actual conspiracy.
Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise.

It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?

'Listen to me as I come to your neighbourhood and tell your trans siblings they are subhuman or I will use the wealth of billionaires to sue you into oblivion,' is a very late-capitalism form of free speech right.
Total gaslighting. Anti-trans activist; chooses to speak in person, provoking students who want to protect trans rights; they exercise their freedom of speech to tell her she isn't wanted; she gets to speak anyway; the BBC dutifully platforms her again; and now she threatens to sue everyone.

I'm a trans woman who, if anyone ever asks, will give my deadname as a different male name each time. It's been the single fastest way to find people who talk behind my back. If that name leaks I know just who leaked it and just who to instant block forever.

If we really want to live up to our self appointed title of the Free World, then we never should allowed it to go this far. And now that we have we, and everyone else who claims to value freedom and basic dignity of human beings, have a responsibility to clean it up.

When Cass, or anyone, says there's been no increase in trans youth suicidality since the imposition of the puberty blocker ban, it is a lie.
Cass literally saying there has been no increase in suicide as a result of her ban on puberty-blockers.

Tell that to the family of Leia Sampson-Grimbly.

She is also ignoring all the other harm her ban is causing, that I have documented here in my peer-reviewed (unlike the Cass Review) research.

LEAK of Hilary Cass talk:
Check other quote skeets for detailed analysis.

Basically, Cass is using an entirely unevidenced/contradicted by evidence idea that kids are being pushed into being trans.

This is anti-trans propaganda: the debunked “social contagion”/“trans the gay way” theories.

“…the (Cass) review also disregarded the level of harm caused by denying youth with gender dysphoria access to puberty blockers and hormone therapy. Her research found “the harm the UK puberty-blocker ban has caused is truly appalling”.

This needs to be said, and said often, and said loudly!
Worked hard to get this into Guardian Oz & big props to @fiercemum.bsky.social for setting it up & Melissa Davey for publishing it. She will doubtless get loads of hassle from transphobes for it, but it needs to be out there.

The main thing to conclude from this Labour strategy to compare the Greens to Reform is that they don’t understand the threat that Reform pose.

David Walliams just the latest in a long line of predatory dangers where the British media have sat on or killed stories that were already open secrets to enable them.

All whilst inventing stories to smear minority groups as dangers themselves.

An absolutely rotten industry.

The macabre thing here is that the sheer epistemic vandalism of this term runs pretty deep. A lot of cis people won't even clock that there's anything offensive about it. A young cis athlete calling out a transphobic athlete used this term in her letter of support just a couple of months ago.
Doesn’t feel good that the head of BBC News Content is instructing reporters to refer to trans people with slurs. If this leak is real it raises questions about who made this decision, who was consulted, and why the BBC chose to ignore its own editorial guidelines on slurs and offensive language
EXCLUSIVE
The BBC has circulated leaked guidance telling journalists to describe trans women as “biological males”.

As usual, @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social is lightyears ahead of her party on trans rights.

Take particular note of her call for "co-production of services with trans people", an extraordinary rebuke of the Cass/Levy regime of contrived authority that has gatekept trans healthcare for decades.
As well as discrimination in general healthcare, years long waiting lists for gender-affirming healthcare are ruining trans people’s lives.

We urgently need increased funding for gender-affirming healthcare, improved training for GPs, and to co-produce services with trans patients.
