Super from @TwisterFilm, and so true. Right from the start, the BBC ignored @jk_rowling’s first intensely newsworthy essay, until Daniel Radcliffe was rude about it. It’s a shambles, and fully the BBC’s fault, that she couldn’t trust the BBC enough to contribute to its doco.
Male nurse nominated for women’s healthcare awards.
Guess who is behind the awards? The @NursingTimes - which appears to have long forgotten what a woman is.
So much so, when this man was nominated for an award under his male birth name name - Jaypee - his nomination was reported using female pronouns 🤡
🚨 BREAKING: A male NHS nurse says he’s received four nominations for awards that celebrate women working in healthcare - including ‘Women’s Champion of the Year’.
Jia Palis Amada said being “embraced as a woman” was already an award in itself.
The awards are organised by emap - in association with Nursing Times.
Helen Joyce of Sex Matters called the nominations “deeply insulting” to women.

Tough times for BBC employees right now. 😢
Sadly, we fear the departments and programmes most deserving of cuts will be spared - and the ideological capture of the corporation will continue.
BBC Three and BBC Scotland television channels to close in the spring, as part of move to save £500m bbc.in/4hRkeu4
She’s absolutely right of course …
J.K. Rowling has published a new essay defending her views on the trans community and calling out trans activism in the 21st century for being "elitist."
"My views haven't changed... what to me represents no change at all in my political or ideological outlook has, in recent years, seen me and women like me subject not only to criticism but also to death threats. This is because we oppose the current, dominant strain of trans activism, which holds that a man who declares himself a woman is, literally, a woman, and is therefore entitled to be treated as a woman in all contexts..."

Trade Unions no longer appear to support women.
Isn’t this something the mainstream media should be covering?
Yet another union betraying women.
The British Medical Association (BMA), the doctors’ trade union, has published a lengthy statement opposing the NHS’s new single-sex guidance.
It repeatedly raises concerns about trans people’s privacy, dignity and safety. But where is the recognition of women’s need for those same protections?
Women get a brief mention - but only to suggest that those who don’t look feminine enough may be challenged when using single-sex spaces.
Nothing about why female patients and staff need those spaces in the first place.

‘Has the Beeb’s trans activism cost it access to Britain’s most successful living writer?’

Not sure any @BBCNews correspondent should be signing political “open letters”? Especially on such a sensitive subject as Palestine Action/Sally Rooney.
(Ms Mohan was in favour of censorship of women’s groups in the past, which seems contradictory)

Why is the BBC obsessed in pushing men onto lesbians and women onto gay men?

Factcheck: True.
This has to be one of the most extraordinary examples of what happens when gender ideology gets into the newsroom.
The Daily Mail is reporting that transgender actor Hunter Schafer has undergone “gender-affirming bottom surgery”.
Yet the journalist repeatedly describes Schafer as “she”, calls him an “actress” and claims he “transitioned to female” as a teenager.
But if Schafer had already become female, what exactly was the surgery affirming?
And why is a journalist reporting on surgery involving male genitalia seemingly unable to acknowledge that the patient is male?
This isn’t about being unkind to anyone. It’s about the language journalists use to describe biological reality.
Because when journalists start treating the idea that human beings can change sex as established fact, rather than distinguishing sex from gender identity, they’re no longer simply reporting what happened.
They’re adopting a contested belief as the framework for their reporting.

2007: Brittany Spears shaved her head as an act of rebellion, and was put in a psychiatric hospital.
2026: "Elliott" Page tells people she's a man, cuts her breasts off, and is celebrated for it.
Think about that.
🤣🤣🤣
I don’t want to read all your hot takes on the French riots: until the @BBCNews do a segment on how the French riots are impacting drag queens, we can’t draw any firm conclusions.
