From the Telegraph:
Anti-transgender views have been classed as “misinformation” in a government-commissioned report.
The study urges the Government to use psychology to prevent the spread of narratives it views as potentially “misleading”.
The tactics are recommended for use in schools and public communications to stop “false” ideas taking hold in society.
“False ideas”? Like that people can’t change sex? Are we really still doing this?
The 136-page report, by a group of seven academics and commissioned by the Government Office for Science, categorises “anti-LGBTQ+ narratives” as a type of “false and misleading information” seen in the UK.
But the Conservatives, urging Andy Burnham to condemn the document, have likened its proposals to the activities of the Thought Police in George Orwell’s 1984, and called it an “outrageous attack on our rights”….
One of the categories included is defined as “anti-LGBTQ+ narratives, ‘gender ideology’ claims targeting schools and public institutions, Pride event misrepresentation and transgender athlete controversies”.
The examples – published alongside the report – include the case of Imane Khelif, the Olympic boxer who became embroiled in a row over biological sex when competing as a woman in Paris in 2024, despite allegedly failing sex tests the previous year.
Khelif won gold but was subsequently banned from competing in all future World Boxing events in the women’s category in the absence of proof of being biologically female.
The list suggests that saying “Imane Khelif is a man” would be an example of “racist/Islamophobic misinformation”.
Racist and Islamophobic. Also true.
