The reason this framing is decisively wrong is that it presents the decision as based on someone's trans status, whereas it is based on their sex. It's not because the people involved fall under the description 'transgender women' but because they fall under the description 'male'. Sometimes, it might not matter which of the descriptions you use, but here it does, because it mischaracterises the logic of the decision to describe them as @BBCNews does.
There's a pretty good community note below this, which I've rated as helpful.
.@Asmongold is right.
Anyone not horrified by what these inhuman people have done and are doing to these girls is insane and/or evil. And anyone defending their crimes, along with UK authorities allowing it, should be wiped from the earth.
They should not be in our society in any way.
1 out of 5 women in the women's federal prison in Tallahassee identity as trans men.
None are attempting to get into a men's prison because trans men are women and like all other women, require private spaces from which men are excluded.
Here's what happens when you put a "trans man" in a men's space.
What a day of highs and lows in court yesterday for women.
We're pumped that our Charter challenge was given the green light to proceed.
At the same time we're gutted that the intrepid @salltweets and our Aussie sisters were dealt a blow.
Two things are certain, whether Canadian or Australian: gender identity laws are disgustingly misguided and we'll fight to the end to repeal them.
WDI USA is proud to announce a new database of men who have committed crimes and claimed womanhood. Not Our Crimes draws from publicly available sources to show that the alleged “one-offs” are actually a systemic pattern of abuse against vulnerable women perpetrated by men and sanctioned by the state.
The Not Our Crimes Prison Project is the result of extensive volunteer research, fact checking, and compilation of publicly available records, including news reports, Department of Corrections websites, Federal Bureau of Prisons data, and Freedom of Information Act responses. The site serves researchers, policymakers, journalists, and members of the public seeking accurate information about the consequences of prison housing policies based on “gender identity.”
Help us by sharing this website broadly. If you are aware of an individual in the United States who you believe should be included but does not appear in the database, please submit a tip at the link below. Thank you for your support as we seek to ensure that the public knows the truth about these men and their crimes.

Trans activist Morgane Oger is throwing an absolute fit because Caroline Elliott says she’ll protect children from a medical scandal if she’s elected.
Oger is now making demented allegations of hate & calling for “criminal consequences.”
What a clown he is.
@kinsellawarren Talking about the current fixation on pathologizing puberty is one of the most important discussions that can be had in 2026. It's not only a women's issue, its about state funded medical interventions in human development. It's about time we talked.
my weekly @Quillette column explains Canada’s political melodramas, social panics, identity cults & tragicomic genderwangery to intl readers. This week: how activists turned the tragedy of murdered indigenous women into a farce called “MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA”

On International Women’s Day, the Justice Centre reminds Canadians that our federal government allows men who identify as women, including men with fully intact male genitalia, to transfer into women’s prisons.
Our donors are funding the constitutional challenge to this federal policy, which subjects female inmates to sexual harassment, physical assault, and psychological trauma resulting from these transfers.

if you’re wondering why a generation of Canadian academics has been encouraged to identify as “gender fluid” or “non-binary,” completely meaningless terms that are basically astrological signs for upper middle class neurotics, it’s because it’s the only way they can get a job
FACT: Not a single adolescent on the face of this planet is capable of consenting to being sterilised.
Everything we know about adolescent development tells us that this life stage is defined by experimentation and change.
It is a period of identity exploration, when young people try on different selves — when beliefs are held with passionate conviction one day, only to be discarded the next.
And because we know that adolescents do not have fixed, stable identities, we should also know that permanent, irreversible medical interventions that imprint adolescent identities onto the body could never be appropriate or ethical.
Paediatric gender medicine is a terrible medical crime. In my opinion, it's the worst medical scandal in history.
Yesterday, the BC Human Rights Tribunal once again ruled that ORDINARY laws protecting Canadians against discrimination and "hate" speech outweigh the CONSTITUTIONAL law protecting Canadians’ freedom of expression.
Mr. Neufeld, a school board trustee, was ordered to pay the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association a sum of $750,000. He has 6 months to pay.
His crime? According to the BC HRT, it was "denying the existence of trans people" (mostly on his time and not specifically in his role as trustee).
The BC HRT ruled that if you say that gender identity is a belief system and not objectively verifiable, you are essentially denying the existence of trans people – and this is discriminatory erasure.
This is an untenable precedent and creates a legally enforceable hierarchy of beliefs. Your deeply and sincerely held belief can be discriminatory – which in turn makes it unlawful (and extremely expensive).
We’ve walked into a new Canada. Your constitutional right to free speech means very little.
