This is a normal post I know. It really is shitty journalism.
Just the other day I was reading on the BBC website about a car accident with two fatalities. Outrageously the BBC chose not to mention that UK roads are amongst the safest in the world and the odds of being involved in a fatal car crash are vanishingly small. Yet again the BBC had failed to contextualize the story which amounted to a heinous misrepresentation of the facts.

This is a normal post Compare that with the journalism they did on Smart Motorways, where they put the rate of incidents per mile into context with the other motorways that still have hard shoulders
Rates of crimes sourced from dubious self-selecting surveys without the supporting context is a very different thing to reporting on an instance of a crime.

But I know you're just being a prick, so I'm going to stop engaging with you.

This is a normal post There's no need to be uncivil.
Your argument seems to amount to "nothing to see here, move along." And so I shall.

This is a normal post I'm not saying there's nothing bad happening, just that in the context of sexual coercion of women, it's a couple of anecdotes out of thousands
Bad people pressure other people into sex, and some of those bad people are trans.
The bad journalism is to present it as if it was a thing that only trans people are doing, which is fucking preposterous.

Frankly, I'd like to leave the whole shitty subject of trans exclusionary propaganda alone, but you brought it up.

This is a normal post Some women don't have cervixes.
My grandmother didn't. My mate's wife doesn't. Abigail Thorn doesn't. Angelina Jolie, Rosanne Barr, Elizabeth Taylor ...

Get over that.

This is a normal post Thing is, smart arse, you can’t have a trachelectomy unless you’ve got a cervix.
Get over this.
