Woman claims her son was 'groomed' into taking hormone treatment by guidance from charities and media

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/06/26/cbbcs-trans-messaging-damaging-children-says-mother/

Sainsbury's is putting 'trans ideology' above staff welfare by 'dismissing female workers fears over same-sex toilets after advice from Stonewall', whistleblower claims

And more demanding behaviour from Pride Activists (attempted censorship?):

And it's the editorial. Not an opinion piece.

Clear line drawn in sand as to where it stands.

Yes, but that is as clear as a diamond. I mean, that is not pussyfooting about.
It’s bloody good stuff isn’t it?! Smile

The Observer has always been more women-friendly I think arabella, it’s the guardian that are more staunchly TWAW-and-anything-else-is-heresy

ArabellaScott · 27/06/2021 08:00

Holy fucking wow. Did I just read all that in the Observer? Editorial?

Shock

Going to have coffee and see if I dreamed it.

I don’t think we need to apologise at all! Forced teaming, being on the right side of history, purity spirals etc are part of why we’re in this mess after all.

The observer also has an excellent piece this week:

@Clymene

I saw yesterday in the times culture section that the bbc are airing a documentary this week about an 8 year old who 'was assigned male at birth' but has said he wanted to be a girl ever since he could talk.

It was a very gushing review. I find the level of propaganda from a taxpayer funded media company which is supposed to be impartial very disturbing

Organisations like Transgender Trend specially advise that children ‘coming out as trans’ should not be marked out as brave or special.

I’d urge all parents and teachers to have a good look around their advice: www.transgendertrend.com/schools-resources/

Very disturbing indeed.

Here’s another. (We need an acronym for ‘sorry it’s a DM link, but they seem to be giving these issues exposure”)

@swashbucklecheer

Can't read the full article but I don't know of any 19yr olds who watch CBBC.
CBBC is targeted at 6-15 year olds. It’s just one example of the media that our children, including the child be is the article are influenced by.

It would be preferable to reading articles before commenting in future.

Sweet jesus. Are people so brainwashed that they can't see when they are massively overstepping boundaries that are there for very good reason? . I wonder if there has ever been another internal BBC network or club that has demanded editorial input into programming.

There is no suggestion he was watching CBBC at the age of 19. As you said, you haven't read the article.
