Manchester's first trans councillor says judge me on my work
WEEEELLLLL. If that blog is an example of your work, I'd say you lack empathy, have no understanding of law, have very poor attention to detail and your level of ability to understand science is an utter fail.

We the undersigned are concerned that the BBC is in breach of its public purposes in recent reporting and coverage of issues affecting the LGBT, and in particular the trans community.
Nope. The BBC has a duty to be impartial. This means reporting on both sides of an argument. Not just reporting what you want to hear.
The letter continues with more rampant ballcocks:
Similarly, there have been many examples where BBC shows have permitted misinformation by anti-trans campaigners on self-identification within the context of Gender Recognition Act reform to pass unchallenged which may mislead an uninformed audience member. Many anti-trans campaigners conflate the issue of allowing trans women into women’s only prisons or shelters (permitted under the Equality Act of 2010), with the matter of updating birth certificates, which self-identification under GRA reform concerns itself with, and when the BBC allows misinformation to occur on its platform, it is failing on the core Reithian principles of informing and educating.
Errrr. About that.
We are further concerned that on this issue the BBC is also in breach of the fourth public purpose, which seeks to “accurately and authentically represent and portray the lives of the people of the United Kingdom today”. Although there have been several documentaries which centre the experience of trans people, when it comes to more general coverage, there has been a lack of accuracy and authenticity in the representation of the lives of trans people. For example, much coverage of transgender issues has focussed on relative niche areas such as fairness in elite sports, philosophical debates of the definition of the word “woman”, or those who detransition. However, most surveys of the trans community show that the biggest issues affecting that community are access to healthcare, mental health support and secure housing. Similarly, within the active discussion around that of trans youth, a disproportionate amount of time is spent on talking about those who detransition as a result of misdiagnosis, without appropriately setting the context of how many young lives have been saved through appropriate early intervention. By focussing much of the debate around trans issues through the lens of the anti-trans campaigners arguments, rather than the authentic lives of trans people, the BBC is failing in its public purposes.
'Niche issues'. Niche for whom? I think Women's Rights are pretty important. But to Chris they are 'niche'.
Is it niche, or 'anti-trans' if you have a full on medical scandal like the Tavistock too. How is reporting on a medical scandal failing to adhere to the BBC's public purposes? Just know, wondering.
Lets have bit of sunlight on Chris and just how fucked up the LDs are in terms of the lack of quality candidates they have (they regularly send out begging emails asking people to stand cos they can't get enough people). Lets talk about how the LD have had a problem with women generally (they have the worst gender equality in candidates of all the parties by some margin). Lets talk about how they threw Natalie Bird under the bus.
They've got a massive issue internally. Everyone needs to see how bad it is.
Its just Nimbys and TransActivists these days. The party have NOTHING else to say.
Genuinely. I find it utterly depressing. They aren't even a protest option anymore.
