Good to see some important reporting using correct language, as well as moves to improve vital services for women.

I just hope this really is the correct definition of woman on the ground.

Leanne has long blonde hair tied on top of her head. She is wearing a pink tracksuit and is seated on a sofa. The wall behind her has green floral wallpaper.

Mixed-sex hostels 'terrifying' for homeless women

Councils in the North East join a census of homeless women amid pleas for safe female-only hostels.

Good to see this being reported. There was recent.similar campaign in Glasgow.

Goodness. Women need single sex spaces for safety. The BBC finally reporting the grim reality for women after years of centring those who gaslight the nation that sex isn't binary, that men can become magically women and that safeguarding is right wing bigotry. 🙄

There's already a thread about this, refers to Northern Ireland as well.

argh

my post was more about the bbc though. Really accurate reporting.

obviously what they’re reporting on now much better law compliant and it’s easier to challenge if not

No problem, it is an important topic and there are different angles in the articles.

Have they changed their tune about the selfish women refusing to budge up and share their spaces with the poor men?
