Wow the United Nations released a report on the toxic effects of the gender critical movement in the UK and not a single media outlet reported on it, it's almost as if the country doesn't actually have a free press

As a point of comparison: there have been *very few* articles on the #ejercitoespia leaks here in Mexico, due to state intimidation of media outlets that report on it, and a lot of people had to turn to NY Times articles about it. People outside of Mexico would probably be like, "oh, of course" because of the kinds of ideas they have about Mexico

As the UK is a traditionally and still majority white country, they don't draw those same kinds of conclusions about the UK when the UK fails to report on unfavorable things about itself

Yet there were still *some* news outlets here that reported on the leaks, in the UK there's *nothing* on the UN report

@CupidsMolotov Took me a while, the UN page is quite a bit of a mess, but I think this is it: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/05/uk-keep-calm-and-respect-diversity-says-un-expert . There is a terribly formatted PDF linked in the article with more details.
