The BBC, quite consciously, sets out to demean and belittle trans people. This is both morally contemptible and in breach of its Charter obligations. We've made it super easy for you to write to the BBC and tell it to stop.

The BBC must stop attacking trans people | Good Law Project
The right wing accusations of ‘pro-trans’ bias are back to front. It’s time for the BBC to live up to its duty to be impartial on trans issues.

So that we are all clear:

2. Any sexual offence by anyone, or any group, against a child is abhorrent.
From the data, below, we can see that white British men are disproportionately the perpetrators.

Hi, I just found out the government plans to scrap the Windfall Tax on oil and gas companies - which taxes their profits - as families face rising bills and the climate crisis worsens.
