@WSJ @WSJFreeEx @WSJopinion @emmma_camp_ JK Rowling's views are mainstream and shared by most people.

From @WSJFreeEx via @WSJOpinion: The reaction to last week’s Harry Potter TV show trailer shows that millions of people are still eager to take the train to Hogwarts, regardless of J.K. Rowling’s views, writes @emmma_camp_

@RNBlake If you think 'trans rights' is about dignity you're about twenty years out of date.
English

Today, on Trans Day of Visibility, I’m thinking back to this moment in the chamber & to everyone who shared their stories with me.
The fight for trans rights is about something simple: dignity.
Our diversity is our strength and I will always stand with our trans community 🏳️⚧️
Rachel Blake@RNBlake
We all deserve dignity in struggle. We all deserve dignity in love. We all deserve dignity in joy. Cities of London and Westminster is strengthened by its diversity, we must protect that and stand strong in the face of hatred and division📹👇

Yes. Let them live joyously and openly as long as they don't threaten women, invade our spaces, punch us in boxing rings, become women's officers, women's health representatives, fake lactation, demand sex from lesbians despite having a penis, take awards from women, etc.

Trans people deserve a world in which they can live openly, joyously, in safety and with dignity. This #TransDayofVisibility, we celebrate trans people everywhere and reaffirm our commitment to building that world together. 🏳️⚧️

@kimplopa You'd trust a theocratic dictatorship who take their instructions from an ancient text interpreted by insane zealots over a modern western democracy?
Fun take dude.

On Trans Day of Visibility it's more important than ever to Listen To Trans People

@radishes4ever Sorry to hear women defending their rights scares you. Maybe go fuck yourself?

@ZackPolanski "rent controls, nationalise our public services & protect our NHS"... and what else? Something crazy about 'trans kids' and Israel not having a right to exist?
English

Another poll in front of Labour?
We're coming for Reform next!
Time for rent controls, nationalise our public services & protect our NHS.

@heraldscotland The reporting on this is woeful. Can't any article on this give an accurate number of boys who currently attend Guides or Brownies.
English

@jan_murray The reporting on this issue is universally terrible. This article reads like something from 2018, when some well-meaning but ill-informed progressives still believed in 'trans kids'. But not one article on the subject tells us how many boys currently attend Brownies or Guides.

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.

@DerbyChrisW I will use all these products. Israel is the Jewish homeland.

@JamesMelville @brunskellevans Yes, the Arabs have always been totally hemmed in. I mean, just look at the map.

English

@JamesMelville The Jewish people deserve a homeland. There are plenty of Arab Muslim nations surrounding Israel where the Palestinians can go. Or they could have gone for two state solution and not been horrible terrorists.
English

I’ve just watched Palestine 36: So many people need a history lesson. October 7th wasn’t the start. It goes back a long long way. Imagine being a citizen to a place that lost status, sovereignty, human rights, freedom and land. And then for decades got hemmed in, encroached, destroyed and an appropriation of the land unchecked. Destinies of people who have lived there for generations completely torn up. Grief turns into rage. It would anywhere. But apparently it’s “antisemitic” to raise any concerns about this.

@CNN This is a lie. They are not banned. They must however compete in the correct sex category.

Transgender women athletes are banned from competing in the Olympics following new IOC guidelines cnn.it/4bzxRed
English

J.K. Rowling says HBO's #HarryPotter series "is going to be incredible" after the first trailer drops: "I’m so happy with it."
Twenty minutes earlier, Rowling celebrated the Olympics' decision to ban transgender women from competing in women’s events by writing: “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.”
Rowling was referring to the Olympics decision to allow Algeria’s Imane Khelif to compete in the women’s boxing competition at the Paris 2024 summer games, one year after Khelif was disqualified from the Women’s World Championships for failing a gender eligibility test due to elevated levels of testosterone in her system. Rowling denounced the Olympics at the time. Khelif was born female.

@NBCNews This headline is not true. No-one has been banned. Males must only compete in male events now. Fairness has been restored.
