I'm glad the beeb are finally giving the detransing issue some airspace. I'm cautiously optimistic that it'll be enlightening for some folk.

Sorry if there's already a thread on it.

[Sheshehe]

That’s good to hear.

[JustTurtlesAllTheWayDown]

Oh interesting. They'd never have shown it a year ago.

[GCAcademic]

It only seems to be on the World Service?

[nauticant]

That's the BBC World Service. Currently outperforming BBC UK in many areas. I assume it'll be a radio/audio streaming programme (available from this coming Tuesday).

[QuimReaper]

Oh crumbs, sorry, thought it was a TV documentary! Either way it'll be available on iPlayer by the looks of it though.

That's the world service, a very good service. Thankfully it's funded mostly by advertising and the UK government rather than the license fee (only a very tiny percentage of the licence fee is used on BBC world wide and before 2014 it wasn't used at all).
Going to show the Fee isn't actual needed to provide a good service.

There are actually 2 parts to it - www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct0hyx is the 1st one.

[OhHolyJesus]

This is going to be good, BBC WS offers the highest level of journalism in my view, or at least it always used to. A reason to return as a listener.

The World Service is brilliant. We often listen to it in the car in preference to the ordinary channels because it does well-researched, in-depth programmes and highlights news from around the world and not just the UK.

I expect there’ll be one ‘he2she2he’ and one ‘she2he2she’ going from that link.

Looking forward to hearing these men & women’s stories, too often overlooked.

Did anybody watch this?

[exexpat]

It's a radio programme not TV, up here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct0hyx?at_medium=custom7&at_custom2=twitter&at_custom1=%5Bpost+type%5D&at_custom3=BBC+World+Service&at_campaign=64&at_custom4=E47BC58E-5D57-11EA-A3F3-47B896E8478F

This one looked at three men who had transitioned and then detransitioned for various reasons, plus an interview with someone from WPATH. The presenter is carefully neutral but it gets some good points across. Next week's episode will look at female detransitioners.

Thank you.

I listened and thought it was really sad in places. Daniel/Danielle/Daniel was clearly abused as a child leading to his decision to transition in the first place
