Does being anti-schools count as part of the anti-bedtime left? Why are journalists asking Zack Polanski stupid questions and not about how he keeps talking about getting rid of schools?

Really good thread here, reminding us just how dishonest this group of gender critical journalists operating within the BBC and BMJ were, and the horrific damage they did.

It is bad that the director of the BBC has resigned over a scandal people only cared about because the mentally unwell President of the United States became fixated with it, and it then went viral on the website controlled by the world's richest man.

đââď¸The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision. In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019. Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts. 1/5

Fun fact: The ECU actually used the phrase âtrans identityâ, not âtrans ideologyâ, and, in editing that quote, this BBC article about a presenter expressing anti-trans views breaching editorial guidelines has itself breached editorial guidelines.

If you asked me to come up with the names of politicians who are publicly and unapologetically pro-LGBT and pro-trans rights in particular, two of the most obvious would now both be Muslim mayors of major cities. And both are routinely smeared as regards to 'Sharia Law'.

Katie Lamâs comments stink of desperation. This crass racism used to mean sheâd be kicked out of the Tories but not now. The Conservative Party seem to be falling all over themselves to chase the tail of Tommy - two names - Robinson. Itâs becoming like the BNP in a twin set & pearls.

The Conservative Party cannot be considered a responsible party of government again until and unless Ms Lam is forced to drop her Idi Amin migration proposal and apologise to those it threatens, or has the whip removed. It is as simple as that.
