      These kids are ace – they’ve been waging a more active and determined campaign for their rights with imagination, creativity and empathy. 

      In particular, 3 attributes the main target of their campaign, Wes Streeting, has no concept of.

      Good. The Telegraph is practically outdoing the Daily Mail these days.

      Has anybody posted their daily list of crimes committed by minorities yet? Or their daily attempts to drum up violence against trans people? Or did a judge make a decision they don’t like? Well then where’s their article about how the decision is invalid because of the judge’s ethnicity, or because their brother’s neighbour’s uncle’s roommate once expressed an opinion online, or something?

      > “They write countless articles on us, but do we ever get asked for our input? Of course not. They don’t see us as human children, just another scapegoat to demonise.”

      They make a good point. Whenever the Telegraph make an article about trans people, they’re chock full of quotes from JK Rowling, Maya Forstater, and the like who not only have no expertise on the subject, but also have no idea of what it’s like to be trans. Meanwhile, voices of actual trans people are ignored.

      To say that the Telegraph is the only paper (or hell, even the only entity) to do this would be a lie, but they’re a good place to start considering that they spread so much of this baseless hostility.

      I agree with them. The Telegraph has not been balanced, impartial, or even rational when it comes to their reporting on transgender people.

      Were they just a little upset with yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling?

      Maybe they should have climbed that court building instead

      Good for them. I’m sick of reading it too, give it a rest Telegraph, you’re worse than the DM now.

      Trans people and supporters need to do more of this. Get heard.

      Heard some baroness on the news earlier talking about how good it is that the NHS will now treat trans women as men. My only thought was “are you trans? no? why do you care”

      Literally why. Surely it has to just be hate, that’s the only reason I can think of why you would try and get involved in someone elses medical care

      The sad part is that the Daily Telegraph is far from alone here. Just about every media outlet in this country seems to become Der Sturmer resurrected when every they talk about trans people.
