These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.
Yes, I'm surprised that the BBC has capitulated. It's not a Murdoch rag. It's a harbinger, however, of how far the UK has gone into the realm of the radical right. The Reform UK party leading the others in latest polls.
The takeover of these major news organizations by far right ideologues who have no desire to report the news accurately or without bias is truly horrifying to see. Mainstream media is just about finished as far as having any degree of trustworthiness goes.
They’ve described trans women as “biological males who identify as women” in so many articles now. Not just this one. It’s like official policy for the bbc now.
It’s hard for me to accept the reality that we are unfortunately living in a new era of repression. We’re going to have to revisit many battles that we thought we settled in the past.
It's really unfortunate that the outlet responsible for good content like BBC Science Focus and BBC History is so selectively regressive when it comes to trans people. They should fucking know better.
Can I describe the BBC as a "propaganda outlet that identifies as a newsroom"?
Are we surprised? This is TERF Island News. The only thing that surprises me is that it’s taken them this long to do it.

Omfg- you’d think people would have some professional standards and conscience.

Sickening. Fuck the UK. Fuck the BBC. Fuck blue labour.
Linehan is a disgusting POS. Shame on the BBC too for giving in to the bullshit
Great time to stop paying that tv license

Time to delete all BBC subscriptions and apps.

Another TERF Island classic.
Thank you for the link to the style guide. It'll be really helpful for me personally.
I’ll be writing NPR. It carries BBC World News programming daily.
