This has appeared on Twitter. A snippet of an ITV news piece on 'gender diverse' children.
We are told that the other 'side'of the debate will be aired tomorrow.

This coming from an organisation whose level of diversity stretches to pigeon-holing us into regressive sexist stereotypes.

Because she knows that nobody will disagree that it's not right to force kids to be who they're not.

It's not right to tell children that they can be who they're not. People can't change sex. She's peddling the idea that they can - to children who don't realise that they're being lied to.

There are no 'two sides' to this. There is fact-based reality, and there is a myth that people can be born in the wrong body, and can change sex to rectify this 'error'.

It is all a triumph of PR over substance.

There are no 'two sides'.

She always frames it as the nasty people stopping children presenting themselves to the world as they personally wish to. Because she knows that nobody will disagree that it's not right to force kids to be who they're not.

She sins by omission most of the time, it's all misdirection.

God the language and rhetoric being used around this is so frustrating. Questioning whether children should be put on a pathway from which there is no return is not 'being judgemental' or 'ridiculing' them.

There are two sides to the debate

One based on scientific fact which aims to engage in discussion within the boundaries of the law.

There are two sides to this debate of course

Its not helpful or accurate to frame things this way.
(except for TRAs)

We've worked with the charity @Mermaids_Gender on an item about gender-diverse children. There are two sides to this debate of course - and we'll reflect that in item two tomorrow. t.co/43g6BHdLv6 twitter.com/mattpriceITV/status/1095993350514184192?s=17
