@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social Could the BBC please explain how a post operative trans woman (with breasts and without a penis ) is a threat to non-trans women? How is it safer for a trans woman (or trans man) to be forced to use facilities based on their birth sex rather than their gender?

Dear Mr Trump. Here's an idea to end the war in Ukraine. Ask your mate Mr Putin to withdraw all his troops from Ukraine and stop all the attacks. No more war and fresh elections in Ukraine can proceed.

But the USA bans books, controls social media, hates minorities, lets extremism, religious fundamentalism and fascism run riot.
