Honestly, Polanski's strategy of actively drawing attention to how much all of the most venal, morally bankrupt assholes of the universally reviled British media class hate him, and how utterly disdainful he is of them in return is a) excellent political maneuvering, and b) extremely funny.

the worst part is how effective it all is
if you're the average person out there casually skimming over 50 headlines a week saying "being transgender is bad and trans people are evil" - not even reading the main body.
You're gonna start to believe it. That's just how persistence works.

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.
