Channel 7 journalist Liam Bartlett says in the promo that “children are being told they should change from boy to girl, or girl to boy, from as young as 12-years-old”.

Oh look, bullshit trans hate.

We should live in a world where if a child has gender dysphoria it is OK and they can express themselves however they want and be whoever they are.

… instead of having hateful gasbags like this pour hate on them for being different.

None of this asshole’s pearl clutching has anything to do with protecting children, it’s about rejecting and destroying people who aren’t like them. Whether LGBTQ+ or black or brown or neurodivergent or whatever else.

I think it matters when people who aren’t hateful assholes take a stand and accept others visibly, vocally. I guess it will take a while to change and unfortunately hateful bigots are a fact of humanity but hopefully our efforts make sure there are fewer of them.

This is what happens when media companies and news companies refuse to hire a single trans person

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Australian transgender content creator Grace Hyland has responded swiftly on her social media accounts after she saw a Channel 7 preview video, which included two photographs of her from before and after she transitioned at the age of 13, without her consent.

The story for the Channel 7 investigative program Spotlight titled De-Transistioning, was described by the network as “uncovering the irreparable damage being visited on a generation of confused kids wrongly diagnosed as transgender”.

“Channel 7 kind of made it look like I regret transitioning,” Ms Hyland says at the start of the clip she posted on her social media, which has now gained nearly 400,000 combined views.

Ms Hyland and her father have previously spoken about her transition at the age of 13 and advocated for more early support in Australia for transgender children in order to prevent trans-adolescent suicide.

Ms Hyland showed the section of the preview video in her social media response from the program, which includes a voiceover that describes the episode as “the most controversial story this year”.

In a statement a Channel 7 spokesperson acknowledged an  image of a transgender woman was shown during a voiceover discussing children expressing regret over transitioning in a promotional video.


The original article contains 529 words, the summary contains 193 words. Saved 64%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Holy shit no kidding.

And you get that feeling someone over there is gonna be brought up on kiddie charges after all of this, too. That’s how it plays out in America these days, at least. An asshole will blame the queens, gays, trans and spaces lasers, then shortly after get busted for being a pedo with dirty hard drives and kids coming back from the past angry as fuck.

I believe there is no crime in using photos you find online, underage or overage.

Generally no, the poster has some copyrights to their image. Criminally liable no, also she is Australian.

That’s not the issue. She is a public figure and has shared her own photos. The issue is that Channel 7 falsely implied she regrets her transition. Channel 7 is trying to use a happily transitioned trans person as an example of someone harmed by childhood transition, and that’s slimy as hell

I mean the whole regret* narrative is anti-trans which is slimy all by itself without slimy lies and stealing pics and shit. Fuck all these trans haters.

She’s upset about how they implied she regretted transitioning and being used for that. Instead, she’s explicitly called for support for kid’s chosen gender being respected.
