No pronouns either. The next step is stop using ‘trans’ instead of ‘male’. Every news outlet does this and it’s completely inaccurate The issue isn’t ‘trans people’ in women’s prisons, sports, refuges, all single sex spaces. The issue is male people, men, in those spaces.

Time for news outlets to stop implying that Scotland’s proposed misogyny law would settle the problem of ‘sex’ being absent from the Hate Crime Act. The legislation would be based not on sex, but on gender. Please start explaining the issue properly. 1/

Sending support to all journalists, but particularly Scottish journalists, who plan to continue using fact-based and accurate language to report sex and gender issues after midnight. In just under 30 minutes a law takes effect that could see them accused of a crime for doing so.

We’ve heard from so many journalists who feel that speaking up at work would bring career repercussions or even disciplinary action. It’s always wrong, so we’ll be producing a compilation of advice and personal experience on how to raise it with editors.

BBC: ‘Expanding gender services is a key focus of the review’ Badly misleading after telling viewers the problem is waiting lists. Most of the important lines - for example ‘extreme caution’ on cross sex hormones, the dangers of social transition - are omitted. Not impartial.
