2021 Media Style Guide, A tool for journalists reporting on issues related to sex and gender identity, sexual orientation, and women’s rights

Okay so I haven't read this in full, and suspect some of it is US specific. But really like the idea and think we have really got to be more pro-active.

Instead of collectively sighing over Ofcom saying Stonewall would be their guide, we need to get in there and not alwasy be on the back foot re-acting.

I think it would be great if the number of groups working on gender critical issues (I'm using this as a category but not implying all politics the same) to somehow agree to work more as a coalition.

I like the idea.

I think some of the explanation would cause the woke to switch off. Before reading it. Needs many more examples.

Would love to see an organisation like Fairplay for Women have a go at it for UK journalism.

Looks good and like the idea of pro-actively offering clear ideology free and supportive vocabulary for all. The conversation can change with the clear use of language. Like the idea of a coalition of groups working together too. Similar to Baroness Nicholson's idea of cross party group on these issues.

Nah, as usual not with WoLF on this. Obviously I agree with a lot of it but saying that sex-based pronouns should always be used in reporting is a complete nonstarter. Unfortunately including this makes the sensible parts be less impactful.

There are better ways to move forward - for example making the sex of trans people clear when sex is relevant (eg the subject is crime or sport or access to women’s prizes/spaces/etc), by simply explaining they are trans / formerly known as.
