Debunking the “41%” transgender suicides figure

The way the "41%" figure is used by transphobes is an attempt beat us down even further than they already do. But its just not what the data says. The data says that suicide isn't the inevitable out come of a transgender life, that you can and should fight for your survival because there is a light at the end of the tunnel and one day you will be free.
Which has the word "Ofcom" sitting on a thick bold underline which changes from burgandy to a dark purple, then a light blue, light green, yellow, orange, pink, a tiny slither of a lighter pink, a red and then purple again. A lot of people are probably about to find out I am terrible at naming colours, but I did this alt-text for you, my screen reading friends :)

My complaint to Ofcom re: ‘that’ BBC article

I am writing to complain about the article originally headlined; "We are being pressured into sex by some trans women". In this letter I intend to set out what my issues with the piece were and how the 'solutions' offered by the BBC's ECU have not at all addressed that problem. The outcome I am searching for is a full retraction and apology for the piece. In my opinion this article does not mean journalistic standards and serves only to elevate gossip of known anti-trans agitators to a position it simply does not belong.

Alex Jones’ Infowars, amongst others, spread transphobic disinformation about Uvalde elementary school shooting

attempt to suggest the murderer of multiple children in a recent attack at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas was transgender. There is no truth to these claims.
