I am not one to wish unhappiness on anyone but, dear God, the mental contortions his wife must put herself through.

Two stories from tonight are up, along with Four Corners. Third story might be uploaded soon. Three stories are all that they usually fit in each show.

The transcript https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-06/decades-old-study-influences-modern-trans-youth/105859724 which isn’t much different from this morning’s article.

Watched it. So biased and not what I expect from the 7:30 Report.

Researcher is obviously a man when he speaks. The trans woman subject is so obviously a man when speaking, walking, standing.

Why are they always tall and built like a brick shithouse?

I suspect that the researcher wants funding and is using the publicity to attract funding and get interest from someone rich.

Absolutely no mention of the effect of the transition on the children.

Wow. Just caught this replaying live which we can watch on the ABC News service.

When they say ‘if you need help, you can call Lifeline XXXXX’, for a minute I thought it might be for women who need to get away from this gaslighting situation’. Seems the invisible women, are still invisible. Only men are indulged when they claim to be women. If their children are now grown up, it would be a time where the wife could consider herself more. Life is short, and she has had children to rear. Now her time is consumed by validating her husband’s claim that he too is a woman.

The Lifeline bit was standard for any news story that mentions self harm, depression, addiction, abuse or anything like that.
