Totally fascinating clip. The 👀 that Jonathan Hinder MP gives Derbyshire, as she actively works to get him to describe ‘trans rights’ as a ‘middle class hobby horse’ - which would be quite a gotcha - followed by her disconcerted silence when he just says ‘men’ instead. She knew exactly what he was thinking of, and he knew exactly what she was doing. But the work on renormalising natural language has paid off. A couple of years ago he would have had to say ‘trans’ in some form, or ‘gender’, to describe events. Now he can just say ‘men’ and the power of that language trickery drains away completely.

Here’s Amol Rajan’s resoundingly negative cue for Mary-Anne Stephenson of the EHRC. The BBC has instantly jumped to gender activist talking points and chosen guests accordingly: the law left enforcement unclear, it’s too hard to police, it will be expensive, the use of ‘female at birth’, something silly about the CQC, men are sad, men are bullied by women, everything is still confusing. There’s no welcome from women and gay people, nothing about how they will be safer, the rights of LGB associations, the relief felt this morning, how egregious the delay was: and they actually picked up a Neon guest of the worst kind. That’s twice in 24 hours the BBC has taken the lazy option and phoned Helen Belcher, whose disproportionate influence on the media is a good part of the reason they’re saying ‘female at birth’ and calling him a woman at all. None of his claims are fact-checked - of course.

BBC World Tonight spoke to Helen Joyce, and nearly made it to the end of a very fair interview without asking about unhappy trans people. Up to that point, it was the BBC’s best hit with Sex Matters since Maya Forstater was on the News Channel on April 16 2026

The BBC Radio 4 Today prog gives Giles Fraser the opportunity to deplore boundaries in terms of our ‘moral anxieties’ in relation to ‘the trans issue’ because ‘God is a hybrid’ and in Christianity ‘hybridity is the very cornerstone of life’. Not subtle.

Here’s the R4 Today interview with Max Hill and Shami Chakrabarti on Glinner. The utility of this programme lies its general obeisance to the official Overton window of any controversial story. In this case we are not permitted to discuss the imbalance of response: the /

Here’s Helen Joyce fact-checking at pace on Jeremy Vine on Radio 2. Have left the intro on the front for you to pick up the editorial tone. She was immensely mismatched with the following guest - it’s embarrassing that experts in the law are up against uniformed activists.

Here’s Susan Smith For Women Scotland on the same programme, extremely clear The now routine question about ‘how guilty do you feel about sad men’ has definitely become Havel’s grocer’s sign. It’s a little forelock tug to internal activists, apologising for having a feminist guest on at all. Note the refusal to say ‘opposite sex’ by either the producer, or more likely the presenter and editor working together. ‘The sex they weren’t born into’ is just silly jargon.

‘Prominent anti-transgender activist..his anti-transgender activism’ BBC Radio News on Graham Linehan Grim from the BBC - lizo mzimba, as ents correspondent, swims in a world of affirmation. No one on the desk would have been confident enough to correct him (because he’s a corr, and because the affirmation culture of the BBC means they won’t want to speak up) and he probably would have argued if they tried to. Mzimba could have said ‘women and LGB rights campaigner’, he could have said gender critical campaigner, or sex based rights campaigner. Instead he saw it through a trans framing, and a trans lens, and he expressed a defamatory opinion.
