    The BBC has a history of being antitrans?

    That’s quite a revelation to me, it has more of a reputation of being extremely liberal and indeed any even remotely right winger here usually whinges and moans about how “woke” it is 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Do you know what in particular triggered their stance that they believed the BBC anti-trans?

        Thank you for that, most interesting.

        It’s odd given their usually quite liberal stance… I wonder if there some old conservatism creeping in with the Tories being in power for so long…?

          Sadly in UK transphobia seems to be pretty common in liberals and liberal institutions. I think that is because in UK the idea to connect transphobia with “womens rights” was really successful and this results in otherwise really liberal / left leaning / feminist individuals & groups to be actively anti-trans. As far as i know even otherwise trust worthy news papers like the guardian plattform anti trans talking points.

      It’s the official broadcaster of TERF island. Even their foremost left wing newspaper is transphobia central.
