Long time poster but changed name as I couldn't find a thread already and wanted to rant.

Not only have they chosen a male but they've chosen one whose science sounds as suspect AF.

The only reason I read top 100 women lists is to play spot the man.

They know what a woman is. They’re the ones they massively under pay. The ones their suspended tv host, gregg Wallace, was gobbing off about only yesterday. The ones who have never come close to being director general. Come on BBC - we didn’t identify into this treatment. You know who we are.

I mean at least they didn't choose a man who punched women on international TV, so there is progress at least.

This week feels like the BBC lashing out: the tide IS changing, even if it's subtle like people feeling ok to eye roll at this ridiculous notion of TWAW,but BBC are ramming this down people's throats in an even more open way

It has to be that they are searching for a man to include every year, and due to the numbers involved the bar to meet for inclusion as a woman must be much higher.

I no longer want to hear anything about women from the BBC and their twisted world.

I mean look at this nonsense

Brigitte Baptiste, Colombia
Ecologist
As a transwoman biologist, Brigitte Baptiste explores the common patterns between biodiversity and gender identity.
She uses a queer lens to analyse landscapes and species in a bid to expand the notion of "nature" to better protect ecosystems. In her 2018 TEDx talk, she used the Quindío wax palm, Colombia’s national tree, as an example of an organism known to switch its gender from male to female across its lifetime.
A renowned academic, Baptiste spent 10 years as director of the Alexander von Humboldt Institute and currently serves as president of Universidad EAN in Bogota, a higher-education institution focused on sustainable entrepreneurship.
She has also campaigned for better funding to get more LGTBQ+ people into higher education.

just as humans are not clownfish, humans are also not palm trees

I know I do! Everyone there’s a list of women I guarantee it’ll include at least 1 man
