Explaining to British people that their media is so heavily biased they'll print outright lies as long as they're transphobic is a bit of an uphill climb, but I've got my belay rope and my pitons so let's go.

The story about "chestfeeding" was an outright fabrication. My source is a respected American journalist, who reported it out.

But our common sense should have been enough to know the story was false. Trans people aren't advocating to remove breastfeeding from the language. There's no pressure on hospitals to do this absurd thing. No realistic sequence of events could have led a hospital to doing so.

The British people should be FURIOUS at their media for making stories like this up. Even people who aren't huge fans of trans rights should be angry at being misled.

Brits need to start showing a lot more skepticism about the trans outrage story of the week. Because this is ridiculous. There was never a remote chance it was true. To be as polite as possible, if you fell for this you're... not terribly well informed.
