Sad that some of the most socially privileged young political activists in the country can come up with such a confused, intolerant, anti-democratic and intellectually-barren statement.

"News reporters should only report facts, and newspapers should only publish facts in their news sections. To do this, editors and news management need to be able to recognise what a fact is, and how to distinguish facts from beliefs. If they can't, this is not the job for them"

How many readers, viewers and listeners were mislead by @BBCNews (and yes, many other news organisations) *for months* about the quintessentially male nature of Blake's murder of Jorge Martin Carreno?

"How is a presenter or reporter to explain why there is a controversy at all about trans-identified men in, say, women’s sports or prisons, if they are unable to say that they are male?"

I wrote about my disciplinary (one of them) and truth at the BBC. It makes me so frustrated that we have to reveal private details about our lives for a cause that is natural and just and in the public interest. /

"One victim of violence... has been reprimanded... for using male pronouns... The judge refused the victim compensation, saying that when asked to refer to the defendant as ‘she’, the victim had done so with ‘bad grace’ or continued to use ‘he’."

Warning over transgender guidance to judges

Lawyers say guidance in Equal Treatment Bench Book fails to highlight conflicts between transgender and women's rights.

"The left in Britain and Ireland have badly misjudged this issue. Trans rights are human rights, but women understand the difference between identity, how people present socially and biology."

The decisions, tactics and conduct of the Metropolitan Police in Clapham this evening require an urgent, independent review. Two decades after the Met was found to be institutionally racist, it's difficult to avoid the conclusion that it is also institutionally misogynist.

Female journalist writes a reasoned, principled column in defence of women's sports. Male journalist subjects her to a knee-jerk, misogynistic attack (the latest in a long line). In the long-run, reason will win over hate. Keep going @VictoriaPeckham

The case of Karen White, a biological male who identifies as a woman, is really shocking. The Prison Service needs to review urgently its approach to prisoners who assert a gender identity that diverges from their birth sex. /1
