The newspapers should be full of this today - the actual truth. Doctor vindicated.

Not that anyone should have expected otherwise - the MSM has been against us since time immemorial
The only person to come out of the SPeggie/NHS tribunal vindicated and with a completely untarnished reputation is Dr Beth Upton.

Not SPeggie,
Not the NHS management,
Not Four Women Scotland,
Not the media,

Just Dr Upton.

Here's my piece on the conclusions of the Sandy Peggie tribunal and all the unnecessary misery that arose from it. bylines.scot/society/beth... 🏳️‍⚧️👩‍⚖️
Beth Upton exonerated, NHS Fife found guilty of harassment
Two years of misery for two women show the damage done when moral panic overwhelms common sense in workplace matters

And I hope they will respond that Peggie was found to have harassed her colleague.

And how disgraceful it is that several politicians chose to defend a racist, transphobic aggressor over the actual victim.

I always think about piers morgan and his homophobia of the 90s, he wrote it, it got published by an editor , and he faced not one consequence.

He went on to be a tv petsonality wuth a cushy job on 'news'.

And he has never had to face consequences or truly apologise to those he hurt.

If, like me, you're as outraged by the clear manipulation of truth regarding the coverage of the Peggie/Upton case, and many other cases in the media, you should complain.

Welcome to Britain, a country so short of dentists that an MP's 87-year-old mum pulled her teeth out with pliers. Also a country with thousands of foreign-qualified dentists who can’t work until they pass an exam so oversubscribed it’s like trying to book Glasto tickets. www.ft.com/content/f4e5...

We must #ChangeTheNarrative!

Dr Beth Upton was fully acquitted of all wrongdoing in yesterday’s Employment Tribunal decision. Yet she has been vilified by a toxic & poisonous media for months.
It must stop!

Congratulations, and solidarity, to you, Beth!

Reflecting on what's missing in some issue-based novels I've read over the past couple of years.

I think it's that they don't confront/challenge the reader enough. Instead the writer and reader cosy up on the side of a blameless protagonist who is pitted against a straightforwardly nasty world.

Very important, because this is very clearly what crackpot campaigners, politicians and press have always been hoping will happen: the public will correctly understand they’re being urged to rise up and hound transgender people on their behalf, thus resolving any issues without recourse to law.
An important point to come out of the Sandie Peggie case is that 'gender critical' employees can't take matters into their own hands and confront trans employees. If they do that it is likely to be harassment/ bullying/ a hate incident.

In "Santa Buddy", Michael Bublé asks his straight pal for:

A Rolex
A '65 Convertible 🚻
A yacht 🚻
The deed to a platinum mine🚻
Canucks tickets
Unspecified gifts from Mercedes
Cash

🚻 indicates gifts which Eartha etc asked Santa Baby for (she sang for a '54 car in '53 though)

#C4News went above & beyond, reporting:

"a nurse has won a harassment claim against Dr Beth Upton."

No she didn't. NHS FIFE harassed her, not Upton.

This is almost defamatory, & they mentioned none of the dismissed parts or the implications for trans women in SS spaces. I complained to Ofcom.

You know, infuriating and a shameful betrayal though the BBC and other media's misreporting of the Sandie Peggie judgment is, it also doesn't really matter.

What matters is the judgment which lawyers will read, use to advise their clients, and inclusion will be the winner.

For heaven sake. I think we ALL need to report all these media outlets Ofcom.
Just haven’t got the spoons right now, but if anyone could put a template letter together that would be amazing!
Alternatively, I don’t have the details of which outlets said what to hand, but…

Picking a ten year old track from an overplayed advert as 'song of the year' is why TikTok should be shut down immediately.

Tribunal: *finds that Sandie Peggie harassed Dr Beth Upton*
British Press: Hahaha no, that's not the story we already decided we like, they must have said it wrong, we'll just say the opposite thing happened ☺️

Overwhelming establishment media in the UK lining up in defence of a massive racist who was found to be an harasser because she's transphobic and all they care about is this fucking culture war against a tiny minority of people who are publicly treated as guilty (of something) until proven otherwise

and the worst part is that they're not even managing to convince anyone but themselves.

The general public switches off when they see trans related shit cos they don't care. The only people reading all of this bullshit is annoyed trans people and outright delusional bigots.
Radio 4 and BBC and Channel 4 News and all the papers completely skewing the Peggie story so your average person will have no idea what actually happened. Doesn’t this make you furious? Integrity in journalism is dead, not just in the US

You really do not want to get shingles.
The shingles vaccine could lay me out for a week and I'd prefer that to shingles.
All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl
