I don't want to shame any particular woman here, but publicly announcing that the #RussellBrand conviction must be wrong because you went home with him and he didn't rape you makes about as much sense as saying 'well, I left 25 Cromwell Street alive, so Fred West's innocent.'

@SketcheeClown @CentroLeaks Ain't got no right to ask this after how the fanbase treated Iris.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library was the best contribution to child literacy ever made by a celebrity. Our paths crossed once, in the 90s, backstage at a talk show, and I was completely tongue-tied and starstruck. RIP Dolly. You were a complete, irreplaceable one-off.

Female means possessing the reproductive system that produces eggs instead of sperm. It is irrelevant whether said system is defective, immature or surgically altered.

I just described every female on earth.

Andrew Tate is facing 42 charges, 19 of which are related to child pornography.

Just remember all the podcasters who promoted this pedophile.

Whistleblowers in the NHS and at gender clinics have been trying to raise the alarm for a decade. There is no excuse for continuing to pretend that extremely vulnerable children haven't been irreparably harmed.

Read this. Understand who you’re harming by propping up this pernicious ideology. Young gay people are undergoing modern-day conversion therapy. You’re cheering on irreversible body alterations for vulnerable people who were perfect as they were.

My favourite bit of the JK Rowling story is how, as a struggling single mother in the early ‘90s, she was on a train and had a great idea for how to annoy India Willoughby.

FAO all who support the UK puberty blockers trial:

'They ruined my life. They shaped and folded my body according to what they thought would look the best... You can't treat kids like that. We're not your art project.'

@FilmUpdates She should be grateful it's even being adapted. Im so freaking tired of Hollywood claiming to care about black representation when all they do is black wash white for brownie points and completely ignore authentic black voices. This is a breathe of fresh air and a damn relief.

@CentroLeaks That's a damn good kickass spread if it's true. And i will cry if Pombon is true. My Fighting killer and Dragon killer both in my fire starter?! 😭👌🏽😭

Dear Phoebe,

I read your Observer piece this morning on the reported “exodus” from Girlguiding - and I was genuinely shocked.

Not because you presented a different perspective to my recent Telegraph reporting on the problems within Girlguiding. That’s part of journalism.

But because you chose to include the case of a six-year-old little boy who reportedly tried to cut off his own penis - after being told he couldn't be part of Rainbows (the section of Girlguiding for 5–7 year olds). Presenting it as evidence of a problem with Girlguiding’s admissions policy.

It is not.

It is a deeply distressing account involving a very young child - and, on any view, a serious welfare concern. Framing it otherwise is a profound failure of editorial judgement.

You also refer to this male child throughout using female pronouns, including the phrase “her penis”.

I appreciate this may reflect current editorial conventions. But it sits uneasily with the basic duty of a journalist to report clearly and accurately on material facts.

I was already aware of this case through my own reporting for the Sunday Telegraph. I made a conscious decision not to include it at this stage - both because a minor is involved and because of the ethical considerations that arise when reporting on such sensitive situations.

Those considerations are not optional.

You will know, as I do, that journalism is not simply about presenting competing narratives. It is about establishing facts clearly, handling vulnerable subjects with care and exercising judgement about what should - and should not - be used to advance an argument.

I trained as a journalist in the early 2000s - a good 20 years earlier than you did - but to my knowledge nothing has changed.

Good journalism should bring clarity. It should not muddy the facts - in order to promote an ideological position.

In this context, that means being clear about sex - a material fact that is both legally and practically relevant.

I appreciate you may be under pressure from colleagues or editors to frame stories in a particular way - or to use she/her pronouns, or the phrase “her penis”.

But that doesn’t make it right.

Earlier this week, the Manchester Evening News reported a violent murder as being committed by a woman - one of many examples of inaccurate reporting around sex and gender.

In this case, even the Crown Prosecution Service - the public body responsible for prosecuting criminal cases in England and Wales - also reported the crime inaccurately.

So that’s two professions we should be able to trust to tell the truth - providing inaccurate information.

Crime statistics matter. Without accurate data on who is committing serious violence, we cannot properly understand it - let alone prevent it.

I considered raising this privately, or writing to your editor. But this issue is too important to be brushed aside with a “thank you for your feedback”.

I’m happy to discuss it with you privately, or to support a conversation with your editor if that would be helpful. But I hope this gives you - and your colleagues - serious pause for thought.

Because it is very much needed.

Janet
