Our media's reporting of trans issues is poisonous, unhinged, a betrayal by those who pretend to report impartially, and shamefully reminiscent of other hate propagandising throughout the last century. I'm surprised to see it in the UK but I need to learn that it is, since Brexit, just who we are.

In general, reporting of Tribunal decisions is appalling, from almost every outlet. Even though you can often go and read the damn things.
Without even being partisan, from a pure informational standpoint wouldn’t a headline like “employment tribunal judges trans women using women’s changing rooms not unlawful” make for more sense?

If the headlines spinning this as a win for Peggie seem pre-written, I guarantee it's because they were, however carefully couched they might seem after some hasty editing.
Sandie Peggie's claims against Upton dismissed & most of her claims against NHS Fife are dismissed. Questions remain for NHS Fife over the process they pursued, which led to Peggie's harassment claim being partially upheld.
The tribunal ruled Upton's use of female changing facilities not unlawful.

BBC asked 5000 doctors to take part in a survey about overdiagnosis of mental health conditions. Only 15% of them responded.
And what do you think the belief will be of that 15% who specifically wanted to respond to a study into overdiagnosis? 🤔

Aside from the fact that most gladiator fights weren't to the death, I am, of course, reminded of the Sex Pistols song "Holidays in the Sun".
Many will see dark tourism as ghoulish. Yet it is not new: some date it back to Romans who flocked to amphitheatres to watch gladiators fight to the death
