What BBC coverage have people seen that cover either self-id or trans access to opposite biological spaces? How has the balance been with biological women's concerns?
I have been really shocked that much of the coverage - even where some questions have been asked - has seemed to accept the premise that 'trans women are women'. This is basically accepting the premise of one side of the argument before starting the debate (see also the labour party's approach to self-Id policy)
Can people link to any BBC coverage of these issues that they feel isn't balanced?
Can people also link to any BBC coverage they have seen that offered a balance on this?
Hopefully we can then encourage a balanced debate on the issues where all voices and concerns are heard.
The issues are complex and often obscured so I think explaining clearly what the issues are to those covering and the questions that we feel should be asked is important. Also the strength of feeling on this!
Please post mention of (and ideally links to) any and all BBC coverage, written, radio or tv or whatever, that you see on this area.
