Another cracking letter from the Baroness.

"A man does not become a woman by donning a frock and lip gloss any more than than he becomes a cat by attempting to purr and lick himself clean"

Fabulous.

She's a fantastic woman

I just read it on twitter! Masterful writing.

Sizzling! I love the Baroness.

Love it. I hope she gets and publishes a reply.

She has a great way with words.

That is an absolute masterpiece.

I love her handwriting!

George Galloway did though

Aargh stop making me think horrible things!

Nooooooo

Caterham did you have to ?

Blimey. That's amazing letter

Even better - "does Ofcom have a better definition than Parliament?" Excellent.

It’s a great letter

I had avoided the actual description of his crime until now, how awful

Superb letter - and a superb example of a member of the House of Lords holding a public body to account... Will be intrigued to see their reply.

The Baroness is not wrong about the BBC lack of impartiality. As I've reported previously on MN, some time ago the BBC had an item on their website about Kier Starmer and how he was a PM in waiting. I commented that I liked KS, but while he didn't support the right of women and girls to single sex provision I wouldn't be voting for him. I wasn't rude or sweary.

My comment was deleted as against BBC guidelines.

I appealed. I received an an email that just said 'your comment was against our guidelines'. I appealed again. They ignored me.

To use a good northern term, the BBC are 'shit-kickers' and only report on what they think is important and that isn't the rights of women and girls.

See also the WPath decision.

That closing sentence was an absolute zinger.

It is. Of course we're laughing at the cat comment but it's the final line that might concentrate minds. Ofcom was established by Parliament and is supposed to be accountable to it. They know they don't get to redefine the law.

Fabulous! A woman whose anger only makes her more sharp and more articulate.

There's a special place in Hell etc etc.

Jolly good letter, by the way, Baroness. I wonder if they'll bother with a meaningful reply, or if they'll fob you off, as they did everyone else.

But it's getting blunter, and plainer. Basically: you personally may choose to play this game with this man, but you have a job to be factually accurate and unbiased, and you can't use the BBC to enforce other people to play with you.

And that's really where it's all got to go.

I hope she writes another stinger about the Justin Webb “in other words a man” fiasco where once again telling the truth about biological reality is not allowed in public.

Ooh that's a mighty letter from a mighty mind. Brava Baroness!

82 years old and up for a fight!
