i stopped paying attention to the bbc after they published a conspiracy theory about trans women raping lesbians.
their 1 source was a sex predator who wrote a manifesto stating trans men should be correctively raped and trans women should be lynched
they still have not retracted or apologised

It’s so difficult to say what “the news” is these days: newspapers and front pages seem largely irrelevant, the BBC is ignored or castigated by so many, and social media is so siloed that “current affairs” seems to exist in multiple separate iterations
I'm guessing the BBC 'scandal' has been big on X this week as this was the first I had heard of it...

96 working days for Tavistock and Portman to respond to my complaint, and it more or less amounts to "yeah we lied to the coroner, we aren't doing shit to prevent future deaths of people on the waiting list."
You'd think I would have learned not to be surprised by this point.

In emergency care trans people accessing HRT need to have heart monitoring in line with their lived gender, cos HRT has an impact.

when people get stabbed at a synagogue just for being jewish then antisemitism is a stain on society that must be eradicated, but when a trans girl is stabbed just for being trans then it’s because phones are bad
