It should not be controversial to question the ideology of child gender transition.  Speaking about the damage done to young people by the medicines and surgeries promoted by the Gender Cult should not result in a person being treated as if they were a supporter of Adolf Hitler.  But that is what is happening.

The latest person to be treated as a non-person, and by the BBC no less, is the musician Roisin Murphy.  Following her decision to speak out against puberty blockers the BBC has removed all mention of her from their digital platforms.  By doing this the BBC has morphed itself into being the modern day equivalent of Orwell’s Ministry of Truth.

Unherd magazine said of the memory holing of Ms Murphy:

The BBC has denied that the decision is related to Murphy’s comments on puberty blockers, though this explanation seems doubtful. Two weeks ago, a private online conversation was leaked in which the singer criticised the use of puberty blockers on distressed children. Since then, Murphy’s record label has stopped promoting her album, while the Guardian’s Laura Snapes produced a ludicrous five-star review-cum-denunciation.

The problem is not that Murphy is ignorant, nor that she voiced an opinion based on incomplete or inadequate knowledge (it would likely have been much easier for her if she had). Contrary to her later statement that “fixed views are not helpful”, this is a debate in which one side has been utterly discredited. 

What is more, they know it. They know Murphy is right. What can you do in such a situation, other than try to rewrite history? 

Liberal people — or at least, people who think of themselves as such — have sleepwalked into supporting the medicalisation and, in many cases, subsequent sterilisation of gay, autistic and/or sexually abused children. They have lied to these children, telling them that biological sex is not immutable. 

If you ever needed a good reason to cancel your TV licence then surely the BBC trying to erase a person who is standing up for children’s rights must be that.
