steepholmHere are the numbers of trans-related stories logged in the last fifteen days by the excellent Trans Media Watch:
Guardian - 1
Metro - 1
Mirror - 1
The Sun - 4
Daily Mail - 12
Why is the Mail so obsessed, that it feels impelled to publish a new article pretty much every day? Only Paul Dacre can answer that, alas. Meanwhile, the bottom of the barrel has long since been scraped, and we're now staring into the abyss of Unstory. The hapless hacks must be worried about what to write next, so to keep them going here are a few suggestions for the coming week:
And finally, a two-parter that can be toggled back and forth day after day after day after day....
That should keep them going for a while. But I'm sure there are more that could be added...

Freak "Boy-Girl" Protected by Teachers
Leftie Council "Confuses" Children, say Experts
That should keep them going for a while. But I'm sure there are more that could be added...

Hopefully, Leveson may finally do something about this, but I'm not holding my breath. :o(
