Hmmm. He stated that he believes some people really are born in the wrong body. But he does sound very concerned about children.

It’s the consequences for children that the public will not stand, so good that it’s being raised.

2.5% of all staff identify as transgender at the BBC. That rises to 2.8% of senior management roles

And a hefty 4.1% in the Commissioning Department identify as transgender

This seems like a massive number to me. Were BBC employees taking the piss when they filled in the survey?

Actually, John Humphreys is one of the few people who I think can pull off the “whatevs, jog on” approach to a TRA pile on. He strikes me as someone who has no fucks to give on a number of issues, including this one.

This is the BBC Equality Information Report 2018

2.5% of all staff identify as transgender at the BBC. That rises to 2.8% of senior management roles.

And a hefty 4.1% in the Commissioning Department identify as transgender.

Around 1% of BBC staff identify as lesbian. And obviously that could include some men. Because it is the BBC.

Wow. Batten down the hatches John, there’s a TRA twitter storm coming your way.
