I’m a small fish here, but those with big platforms need to speak up. A “far-right expert” with 11.8k followers likens the UK to Weimar Germany and calls anyone who defines womanhood on the basis of biological sex a "transphobe". This isn’t analysis—it’s unhinged.

It makes perfect sense. Transwomen - aka men - are not women. The PM has simple acknowledged what humanity has known for tens of thousands of years. Progress.

Major proponent of the disastrous 2003 invasion of Iraq believes American women & girls should be second class citizens with fewer rights than boys & men. ‎Here’s a handy phrase for ⁦‪@billkristolbulwark.bskyb‬⁩.social: ‎من جهل شيئا عظم في عينيه ‎ ‎‘He who is ignorant thinks himself wise’

It is profoundly shocking that @council.nyc.gov has written gay men and lesbians out of their own history. This deliberate misinformation was even corrected by Michaels - aka Johnson - himself. Fred Sargeant, who WAS there, debunks the fiction: www.spiked-online.com/2023/01/28/t...

So @theguardian.com has failed to report on one of the most important cases for working class women’s rights at work. On its website, it affirms a cause that seeks to undermine working class women’s protections. (The letter is in response to the column by @sonia-sodha.bsky.social in The Observer)

Will @theguardian.com publish an apology or a clarification as to why its journalist took the trouble to interview an esteemed evolutionary biologist for facts on the Trump EO on biological sex then crafted a piece, contrary to the facts? Screenshots to follow x.com/hoovlet/stat...

Jesse Singal does not have “anti-trans views,” and any reporter who relies on GLAAD as a source for facts about journalists who report about pediatric gender medicine needs to reevaluate their methods for vetting sources. techcrunch.com/2024/12/13/b...

The word ‘cis’ when describing humans has no place in journalism. It is a political descriptor that seeks to replace fact with pseudoscience. We don’t describe humanity using the language of creationism - the same should apply to gender identity as they are both anti-evolutionist ideologies.
