Just a heads up, in today's Telegraph
It makes a change to the Guardians wall to wall take on it.

Last night's thread. I summarised the points in the article for those without a subscription.

(NB, Telegraph sub is relatively cheap. I took it out in one of my "know what the other side thinks" campaigns post Trump.)

Good piece. Glad that in particular she mentioned the suicide element:
"Portraying a suicidal adolescent to prove a non-existent case is highly irresponsible (copycat attempts are a serious problem). “See, if you don’t agree to our demands, more kids will top themselves!” is little more than moral blackmail." She also points out that the 48% figure has been discredited.

I notice that in today's Guardian report about the gender recognition bill, Stephen Whittle is quoted as saying that if it doesn't go ahead, more people will kill themselves. They are utterly shameless.

Another journo speaking out. Thank you Allison.

The Government, which opened this Pandora’s Box in the first place by suggesting reforms to the GRA, needs to slam it shut it again.

This is an excellent, no holds barred piece. Thank you Allison.

I bought the print edition specially to read it and was glad to see it trailed on the front cover.
