Okay, final #mailonsunday piece before I have a bloody mary at this rate.
Right – this piece is trope number 3 – just lie in the headline. So, the headline sounds shocking – LGBT people demand right to have LGBT representation on LGBT stories!! Actually, it doesn't...(1/9)

sound that bad when you say it like that, so it’s been misrepresented and twisted into our old false friend – the secret all powerful trans lobby that is silencing dissent (remember again – the gay lobby in the 80s what was silencing dissent. It’s a well-trodden path ...(2/9)
to encourage otherness).
When you read the article, no-one except #sanchezmanning said 'vet'. The LGBT group wants to play a role in editorial processes. Lots of people do that, and we always complain that editorial boards aren’t diverse enough (ahem #mailonsunday). (3/9)

I heard the interview with @benjamincohen and he was right – we need to stop discussing trans issues without trans people. I don’t want my narrative exclusively dictated by straight people. The BBC does have an issue with discussing trans as just a women’s issue and not..(4/9)

It is critical of the fact that some presenters are receiving trans training. Why is there any objection to that – firstly, it’s the right thing to do and secondly, it gives the BBC an out if a presenter goes off script. And it’s for one hour FFS – how much...(7/9)
is that going to change the BBC. There’s a final anonymous comment asking how much it cost? (8/9)
Well as it’s a service I imagine it cost something. I’m sure even #sanchezmanning charges for her services of writing exactly what their bosses want to hear and the expense of truth and objectivity.
