Bit late, mate… We HAD it. Then you did everything in your power to destroy it. Which you’ve been successful at, to a degree. But you didn’t know when to stop. It’s what happens when you not only decide to hijack a movement, but also choose to piss directly into the wind.

📰A new Finnish study reports that youth gender transitions (under age 23) did not improve mental health symptoms. For some youth, medical gender reassignment may have had a negative impact. Link ⬇️ /1

Sue Bird says the IOC policy protecting women’s sports is fear mongering and solving a problem that doesn’t exist. Angela Carini and Melissa Bishop would likely beg to differ.

.@tess_mccracken your post isn’t cute or cool. It’s lame. Now you’ve locked your account and you’re probably boo-hooing that Riley attacked you (she didn’t). You blocked a person who liked your push up video because her politics are different than yours. You’re the mean girl.

@jk_rowling Reducing it to “two men boxing against women” leaves out important context. Further discussions are more productive when you acknowledge the full picture rather than boiling it down to a single, loaded statement.

Today's ruling by the IOC means a welcome return to fair sport for women and girls, but I'll never forget the scandal of Paris 2024, when people who consider themselves supremely virtuous and progressive publicly cheered on men punching women.

Dear Phoebe, I read your Observer piece this morning on the reported “exodus” from Girlguiding - and I was genuinely shocked. Not because you presented a different perspective to my recent Telegraph reporting on the problems within Girlguiding. That’s part of journalism. But because you chose to include the case of a six-year-old little boy who reportedly tried to cut off his own penis - after being told he couldn't be part of Rainbows (the section of Girlguiding for 5–7 year olds). Presenting it as evidence of a problem with Girlguiding’s admissions policy. It is not. It is a deeply distressing account involving a very young child - and, on any view, a serious welfare concern. Framing it otherwise is a profound failure of editorial judgement. You also refer to this male child throughout using female pronouns, including the phrase “her penis”. I appreciate this may reflect current editorial conventions. But it sits uneasily with the basic duty of a journalist to report clearly and accurately on material facts. I was already aware of this case through my own reporting for the Sunday Telegraph. I made a conscious decision not to include it at this stage - both because a minor is involved and because of the ethical considerations that arise when reporting on such sensitive situations. Those considerations are not optional. You will know, as I do, that journalism is not simply about presenting competing narratives. It is about establishing facts clearly, handling vulnerable subjects with care and exercising judgement about what should - and should not - be used to advance an argument. I trained as a journalist in the early 2000s - a good 20 years earlier than you did - but to my knowledge nothing has changed. Good journalism should bring clarity. It should not muddy the facts - in order to promote an ideological position. In this context, that means being clear about sex - a material fact that is both legally and practically relevant. I appreciate you may be under pressure from colleagues or editors to frame stories in a particular way - or to use she/her pronouns, or the phrase “her penis”. But that doesn’t make it right. Earlier this week, the Manchester Evening News reported a violent murder as being committed by a woman - one of many examples of inaccurate reporting around sex and gender. In this case, even the Crown Prosecution Service - the public body responsible for prosecuting criminal cases in England and Wales - also reported the crime inaccurately. So that’s two professions we should be able to trust to tell the truth - providing inaccurate information. Crime statistics matter. Without accurate data on who is committing serious violence, we cannot properly understand it - let alone prevent it. I considered raising this privately, or writing to your editor. But this issue is too important to be brushed aside with a “thank you for your feedback”. I’m happy to discuss it with you privately, or to support a conversation with your editor if that would be helpful. But I hope this gives you - and your colleagues - serious pause for thought. Because it is very much needed. Janet

@BarbB2013 @jpcarew4 @Tismfem @WendtheWalker @jk_rowling Can’t even spell and you’re citing sources that never existed. How an unnamed hospital and an unnamed doctor test people outside of the scope of their jurisdiction, and give the results in a language that nobody involves speaks? Did you get hit in the head or something?

@BarbB2013 @jpcarew4 @Tismfem @WendtheWalker @jk_rowling A publication that exists as the French version of Reduxx — citing an unnamed doctor, an unnamed hospital, and ‘test results’ in English, not French. When did Imane get a test if both the IOC and IBA deny ever giving her one?

@jpcarew4 @Tismfem @WendtheWalker @jk_rowling Because you people don’t have evidence. You have “interviews” that never happened and “hospital records” that are in neither the language of the country where the hospital is or what the people involved speak. If my “reality” was this poorly manufactured, I’d end it all.
