Sherrif John Bunnell Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Dorries threatening to cancel the licence fee had made the BBC more Tory than ever. That statement is nothing but straight up transphobia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That statement is nothing but straight up transphobia. I wouldn't go that far, they were clarifying something that had obviously been raised by complaints and had a duty to be transparent about. The BBC has never been free of Government pressure, the time they utterly surrendered for the first time I can remember was under Blair over the sexed up case for war in Iraq intelligence report and the top management were sacked and replaced for allowing the truth to be told. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does rather make you wonder what else they might feel that have to be "open and transparent" about in the future, assuming they receive a few complaints from a properly motivated and organised group. "In our recent article about British athletes, we can clarify that one of them was a Muslim, a fact that wasn't available to our Sports Desk at the time of writing". Peep peep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, but have they? I presume they were asked if any of the contestants in a show were trans and they said yes, without identifying the individual. I'm not sure if they had a choice to say none of your business, which I'd much prefer. Edited November 24, 2022 by welshbairn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 8 minutes ago, oaksoft said: If it had been true that it was the first time in it's 55 year history that all the finalists were women that would have quite rightly been a newsworthy item. Having made that statement, they were duty bound to correct it when it turned out not to be true. As an aside, I reckon we're about a year away from anyone using the phrase "trans" being cancelled or "held to account". I mean, if you truly believe a trans woman is a real woman then there is no need for the word "trans" as it then becomes a divisive word. This specific Womans Hour situation, which is causing angst, is a great example of that. That's my prediction for where the Woke Warriors are heading on this issue. "Womans Hour" (sic) is causing me some angst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Oaksoft, there; the "great supporter" of trans rights in the same manner as worker's rights: speaking out against them whenever possible. Poor taste for a parody account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was recently delivering sermons to others on "looking beyond the virtue signallers" on that topic IIRC Anybody who dares to publicly disagree with current right-wing talking points is "woke". He's occasionally been "woke" himself when it's suited the aim of garnering responses. Same goes with "virtue signalling", which he's perfectly happy to do for attention when it suits. See the pretend caring about people on low incomes, from a poster who used to openly admit he hated human beings, couldn't wait to cut contact with them after retirement, and celebrated the introduction of Universal Credit because it would hurt benefit scroungers. Now he's deeply concerned about the same people because the nasty middle-classes are taking all their money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
