Reading the BBC news online this morning and there is not one, but two stories about transgender people. One promoting the transition of a small child, and the other promoting sport for transgender athletes. The latter in particular looks like a direct attempt to counter the news discussion over the last few days in sport.

This isn’t news, it’s wartime propaganda.

There seems to be a higher than average % of trans employees at the BBC, according to figures. I'd be interested to know how many of them have selfID'd, how many are AGP types, and what positions of influence they hold.

The last section of the sport one does state unequivocally that men are bigger and stronger than women and that hormone therapy cannot change that. Which should be self evident from the women's team photo with the giant man in the back row!

Oh no! I only use one towel! I've just realised I must actually be a man. How do I break the news to DH?

Parents are berated for letting girls wear make up and do their hair in fancy dos at 9.

Its brave and stunning making a boy look like a drag queen though

Like many little girls, nine-year-old Autumn Norris loves dressing up and experimenting with make-up.

No BBC, that isn't what 9 year olds do, that is a sexist stereotype. Boys can like make up and it doesn't make them girls. This is dangerous and very frightening.

The towel thing was a bit odd. My son uses about 4 towels when he goes in the shower so he must be very womanly 🙄

I wish they would elaborate when they say " school has been amazingly supportive"

Perhaps of people saw that they were letting them use toilets and changing rooms or having assemblies telling Kids that stereotypes were what made you a boy or a girl people might stop and think a bit more...

I found the pictures of the child with the drag queen makeup slightly disturbing.

Me too.

Thought on the plus side, i now relieved to know I am an actual woman because I use two towels after the shower - one for my body and one for my hair “like a woman”.

Every stereotype ticked, ffs.

Was on bbc Scotland last night. We had the sad story of a person who had to play footie with a women’s team
There was the walking on the beach sad face
Then video of the person very tall playing withe women team then plea for inclusive sport
Why was the men’s team not being asked to be inclusive
There was a bit from Sharron Davies but nothing like the emotional stuff from the sad person wandering on the beach

Thought exactly the same. BBC ramping up the trans agenda massively.

I found the pictures of the child with the drag queen makeup slightly disturbing.
