This @barrydistrict story is an embarrassment to journalism. Readers are told a "woman" masturbated in front of nurses. They are then told the prosecutor said: "The defendant put her hands down her leggings to the groin area. Staff could see that she had her penis in her hand and that her hand was moving up and down." "Her penis." To be fair to the reporter, he is accurately reporting what was said in court. But that means the pronouns change from female to male halfway through the story. And journalism is supposed to help readers understand what happened by reporting material facts clearly and accurately. Not require them to perform mental gymnastics in order to make sense of the story. This kind of reporting is confusing, absurd and frankly beneath the standards journalism should aspire to. And it shows exactly what happens when gender ideology is allowed to dictate public life - including the legal system and the media. Link in comments 👇

The fact that your government has made it illegal for me to answer yes is a damning testament to your flagrant disregard for civil liberties. This may be targeted at those taking action against the genocide, but it sets a very dangerous precedent that puts everyone at risk.

Calm yourself my love. No teenage girls are having their healthy breasts removed, just teenage boys are having their gynaecomastia resolved so they can live in freedom in their bodies. Also - BTW - puberty blockers prevent the need for top surgery - FYI 😘 Oh and well done to @LushLtd for recognising all teens.

Kit Malthouse, hardcore supporter of the Bill, just told @SebastianEPayne @TimesRadio that MP supporters of the Bill must NOT amend the Bill. Every amendment, no matter how vital, will be rejected by Lauren Edwards MP.

'Doctors have taken over maternity, and they're not doing it very well.' Former president of the Royal College of Midwives, Caroline Flint, is 'distraught' by the news of further maternity failings in the NHS.
