You'd think somebody would actually do some basic journalism at these papers & realise that there have been more attacks on women in toilets by Gender Criticals since April than attacks by Trans Women since 2000, & ask why the government is actively supporting these attacks, which is a bigger story

If you're only following this "debate" through popular media you probably have the impression that studies on youth gender medicine are roughly split between benefits and harms.
Nope! Nearly every study finds benefits. The "debate" is just a bunch of people going, "Those don't count."
