Matilda Mallinson: 我认为特朗普签署行政命令禁止跨性别女性参加女子体育运动,这背后有很深的政治算计。他利用极少数跨性别运动员的议题,煽动社会对立,转移人们对真正重要问题的关注。这种行为不仅歧视了跨性别群体,也浪费了大量的公共资源。我认为这种政策根本无法真正保护女性权益,反而加剧了社会的不平等和偏见。我感到非常失望,因为媒体在报道这件事时,往往忽略了跨性别者的真实处境和感受,使得公众对这个问题产生了误解。 Helena Wadia: 我对特朗普政府的这项政策感到非常震惊。作为一个女性,我认为这项政策不仅歧视了跨性别女性,也对所有女性造成了伤害。这种政策强化了性别刻板印象,使得女性在体育领域的发展受到了限制。我认为这项政策是政治操纵的工具,目的是为了赢得保守派选民的支持。我感到非常愤怒,因为这项政策不仅违背了人权,也违背了体育精神。 Laverne Cox: 作为一名跨性别女性,我感到非常受伤和愤怒。特朗普政府的这项政策是对我们人权的侵犯。我们不是社会问题的根源,我们只是想过上正常的生活。我认为这项政策是政治迫害,目的是为了转移人们对真正重要问题的关注。我希望社会能够更加理解和支持跨性别群体,让我们能够平等地参与社会生活。 Natasha Devon: 我认为对跨性别者存在的政治化是整个群体被激进化,投票反对自身利益并支持危险的专制政权的途径。他们欢呼雀跃地迫害不到1%的人口,同时自打耳光。 Aaron: 我喜欢特朗普说只有两种性别。

This week’s political news reads like a playbook in fascist propaganda - and rule number 1 is throwing minorities under the bus. Whether it’s Trump’s America, Merz’s Germany or Starmer’s Great Britain, leadership apparently now means bowing to the myths of the masses - myths the media has miserably failed to correct.

Is there really a ‘migrant crime wave’? We review worldwide data to equip listeners with the facts missing from the mainstream media.

What about ‘the war on women’s sports’? How many transgender athletes does it take for the Trump administration to ceremoniously sign a national ban? (Apparently, just 10 - we wonder what Musk’s ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ makes of that use of federal funds.)

And guess who predicted Hamas’ hesitation over hostage releases, following Trump’s plans to “take over” Gaza? The families of those hostages. So why did their concerns barely make the press?

We finish News Watch with Eyes On Palestine: new frontiers of war emerge in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

The episode is hosted and produced by Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall) and Helena Wadia (@helenawadia)

The music is by Samfire (@samfire)
