"Anti-trans views classed as misinformation in government report"

[UtopiaPlanitia]

So, in addition to Amnesty, we now have 7 academics writing a 136-page report for the Government Office for Science claiming that lack of support for Genderism is misinformation and misleading.

The report also calls for government use of 'psychology' to prevent the spread of narratives the report writers view as misleading.

Some highlights from the newspaper article below:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/0ea071d23809639a

'The study, from May 2026, was designed to inform government policy on “identifying and tackling harmful misinformation”.

It uses data compiled by EU-funded fact-checkers to identify 11 key categories of “false and misleading information”, backed up by a list of examples.

One of the categories included is defined as “anti-LGBTQ+ narratives, ‘gender ideology’ claims targeting schools and public institutions, Pride event misrepresentation and transgender athlete controversies”.

The examples – published alongside the report – include the case of Imane Khelif, the Olympic boxer who became embroiled in a row over biological sex when competing as a woman in Paris in 2024, despite allegedly failing sex tests the previous year.....The list suggests that saying “Imane Khelif is a man” would be an example of “racist/Islamophobic misinformation”.

...The authors also encourage the Government to ramp up its monitoring of misleading information and prioritise tackling the “harms” caused by certain claims, rather than focusing too much on the “intent” behind them.

To keep track of the problem, ministers are urged to create “a comprehensive, wide-ranging, and monthly updated database of false and misleading narratives spreading in the UK”.
...Mr Burghart, a former Tory minister, described the idea of “psychological inoculation” as “frankly terrifying”.

He said: “It could end up restricting speech from those fighting for biological women’s rights, telling the truth about grooming gangs or criticising the EU.'

take it you used grok ?

No, I read the post where it said they're all from Sheffield.

fair points i missed that part

I’ve just posted the authors, along with the report.

To keep track of the problem, ministers are urged to create “a comprehensive, wide-ranging, and monthly updated database of false and misleading narratives spreading in the UK”.

That sounds great, after all what could possibly go wrong with that?

seems like building a data set to then run analysis and then counter the main opposition points

so when did walking like a duck, looking like a duck, become a bat with ozzy chasing it ?

Okay, let's give them a few false narratives to counter:

Transwomen are women.
Bottom surgery and hormones actually change your sex.
Children can know and communicate that they are trans at the age of two.
Minors can give informed consent to being sterilised.
Wanting short hair and thinking periods are yucky means your daughter is really a boy.
Believing that sex is real and that there are times and places where it matters is Nazism.
Using non-preferred pronouns is literal genocide.
Lesbians who won't do dick are sexual racists.
Sex is a nebulous dogwhistle.
Transitioning MTF is a misogynectomy.

“Men who identify as women are literally the most oppressed group to ever have walked the earth.”

sorry couldnt resist

It’s funny because when I clicked on the link to X about this the tweet underneath was about the women’s tennis association now introducing a policy of sex testing. Quite coincidental that all these sports bodies are taking steps to ensure males are kept out of female sports considering all this ‘misinformation’.

Good. Because that's it's exactly what it. Maybe the people disagreeing with this should take a good look at themselves and realise how damaging their rehtoric is.

Sorry a bit confused. Is this a report commissioned by the Government and they chose the authors, or did they put it out to tender.

Or is this in fact a lobbying exercise masquerading as academic "research"?

The problem here being that the so-called scientific consensus that claims a man can be a woman is nonsensical.

The medical profession may have been taken over, and have the appearance of consensus reality but when scientific proof is sought, it doesn’t exist because peer review has ceased to function in this area of medicine.

I worry for the future in Britain. It feels like something is going seriously wrong with the world.

Jesus Christ, does this shit never end? And shame on the seven authors of this bullshit.

Now seen Commissioned by the Government Office for Science (science???)

This quote shows that is not factual research

Gender, LGBTQ+ & EDI
Anti-LGBTQ+ narratives, 'gender ideology' claims targeting schools and public institutions, Pride event misrepresentation, and transgender athlete controversiES.

ie these researchers are far from impartial. They have shown their bias by using the Rainbow grouping, when it is well known this is NOT universally accepted.

Its is a chronically unprofessional as asking a group of people with a shared religious belief to write a report and they frame their report within the belief frame work of their religion.

The report not only makes the Government look really really dumb. (How much did it costs?) But shows yet again Universities are not "seats of learning" but festering hives of bigots.

Shame on them.

This is just what I was thinking.

I’m so tired of this ridiculous bullshit and tired of the authoritarian apparatchiks who push this insane narrative. Every crazy idea as listed by @Heggettypeg Furious that this has been allowed to spread to children and young people. Every time I think my DC are just about getting there, they end up back to default #bekind.

It’s the cold calculation of weaponising kindness by kind people to advance the tra agenda that I hate the most. So manipulative.

I guess they’ve been radicalised by bad actors.

Oh bless them, they do keep trying this, as if piling up lies into nicely arranged structures or classifying truths against their little scales of made-up hateyness will somehow magically produce that elusive killer argument proving that 1 = 2, black = white or female = male.

It won't work. It will never work. Because the thing they are trying to defend sinply isn't true.

Female bodies won't suddenly become consequence-free no matter how hard you insist TWAW and gender matters more than sex.The history of woman's oppression won't suddenly have not happened.

And as long as those facts continue to be true, the massive gap between Genderist claims and lived reality will continue to be noticed and undermine their project.

Lots of female names on the list. Just like all the Labour female MP hand maidens. How can actual biological women be so dumb as not to see the conflict with their sex based rights?

I suppose it is a kind of virtue signalling suicidal empathy that they suffer from.

So they can write a 136 page report and suggest monitoring for this but can't do the same to identify a social contagion.
What utter arseholes.

Sounds like a blueprint for witch-hunts, and scarily similar to the idea of the TRA male I can’t remember the name of who scraped (and I think tried to identify) FWR.

How many of those with female names are actual women?

None of them seem to be proper scientists, and the funding was from the EU, so it sounds like politics masquerading as academia.
