As part of my ongoing project cataloguing the mainstream and liberal media’s active ignoring of the the complexity of the gender issue, I’m sharing the following pitch from writer Sarah Barker, which she’d sent to the Minnesota Star Tribune—as well as the story of what happened with it:
It was hard to "like" this story because the events portrayed are absolutely horrific and that we as a society are permitting this to happen to these most vulnerable of women is something we should be profoundly ashamed of. Thank you for helping try to being it to light.
The Geneva conventions are rules of war. They regulate the wartime treatment of POW's, but have nothing to do with a nation's own domestic prisons/jails or with anything that happens in peacetime.
In other news, Dems didn't lose the 2024 election because of a surge in Republican't votes: Trumps numbers only went up by about a million votes from 2020.
But Dem votes, in those same four years, went down by 7 million. Seven million is kind of a lot.
Mostly from alienating moderate Dems and pragmatic--as opposed to performative--progressive Dems regarding Kamala et al.'s support for men in women's spaces and other unscrutinized issues.
There really has been something wrong at the J schools for a long while. They are in the Humanities school, so the important thing is to come up with a narrative that feels good. And there seems to be little desire to subject these "narratives" to the kind of scrutiny that a competent education in science and math would provide. So if you come at their narrative issue with any kind of scientific or numerical analysis, you are immediately suspect.
It’s not a story in Minnesota for the same reason Somali fraud is not a story in Minnesota - MSM overlords support both, particularly the Star Tribune.
At best ,the media are cowards , at worst woman hating monsters. They are despicable and women will not forget which media outlets were on their side and which were not. Women who support this predators' rights movement should be paraded through the streets in a walk of shame ,like they did to the collaborators in France after ww2 ended !! Thanks ,Lisa
Normies need to read such articles in MSM, and it is a travesty that the information is suppressed. Normies either assume it's not happening because it is so obviously batshit crazy, or that there is careful gatekeeping. The truth is so insane that they assume it must be "fake news" by conspiracy theorists. The silence of MSM is effectively a giant coverup.

BTW the international law code that applies here is the Mandela Rules, or more formally U.N. Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (https://www.unodc.org/documents/justice-and-prison-reform/Nelson_Mandela_Rules-E-ebook.pdf). See Rule 11. on page 7 of the .pdf.

The prison stuff is as brutal as the trans-ing kids stuff in this horrific space. The MSM's behavior on it is despicable.
