It's funny how much the BBC and Labour have in common. Challenged by the Right, they immediately throw their base under a bus, in a doomed and foolish attempt to appease those who will always hate them.

My message to that person:

That Maitlis appears to be so proud of being instrumental in stripping an entire generation of trans youth of gender-affirming medical care - which has led to several suicides already - is quite frankly obscene.

They loved her. She loved them.

and they were all only able to find each other and be those beacons of support because they had phones.

If you want to take that away from kids like Brianna? fine. do what evil shit you want.

But take her name out of your god damn mouth. @charlotte2153.bsky.social

@charlotte2153.bsky.social they talked about everything, all day every day. She helped some of them access transition support and healthcare - a thing which your government is banning from trans youth in her country now.

They even risked contempt of court by posting her killers names before trial.

ps. it is arguable that Brianna would not likely have turned to social media for friendships and transitional support had those things been readily available in her local area.

@charlotte2153.bsky.social you want kids like Brianna off her phone? then give them a better alternative.

It is IMO very late but still helpful for the libs to understand their colleagues are feral wingnuts bent upon maximal destruction, who cannot be appeased, not just people who politely disagree with them. It’s a start, if nothing else.
