I was watching this and waiting for her to claim she was shut down by some kind of shadowy trans lobby conspiracy, but it's not even that! She's somehow citing the fact that she *wasn't* hindered from pursuing an anti-trans line as proof of pro-trans bias?!

For years, I’ve known that Maitlis was a key player in the institutional and orchestrated attacks on Trans+ youth
Now, emboldened and clearly unrepentant, she's flaunting her complicity
The world can now see her for who she is - someone willing to weaponise their power against the vulnerable

Remember, when journalists just let trans people live their lives in peace, it’s “ideological capture”, but when they use their own personal anti-trans beliefs to lead a campaign to close down the only place in the country trans youth received healthcare, it’s absolutely fine, nothing to see here.

A group of powerful national journalists choosing to single out the healthcare of a vulnerable minority for a campaign of intense laser-like scrutiny would, in an humane society, be described as an insane radicalised pogrom.
But on Normal Island, that's a Wednesday.

So now we have a confession that that the so-called ‘investigation’ into the Tavistock was nothing more than a way to get it shut down.
Trans kids have died since then, because they can no longer get the healthcare they need.
This is on you @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

There are two classes of political party in the North, those who can wield a veto, and those who cannot. That means there are two classes of voter, one whose representatives have this power and another whose representatives do not. Short thread:

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...

They'll soon be refusing to use even 'transwoman', like their pals at the Telegraph and Times.
Earlier this week, the Times described a trans woman as a "sexually active male who identifies as a woman called Rose"
