Oh dear, the transes are very upset about this. They're all "sad times" and "literal genocide".

I heard this phrase on the Radio 4 news yesterday. And here it is in black and white, on the BBC news report. This would never have happened a year ago, when TWWstillW.

The first post, from his X feed, called it a "violent, abusive act" for a trans-identified male to be in a female-only space. He suggested: "Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails punch him in the balls."

Those are Graham's words though, aren't they...not those of the BBC reporter?

Edited

No. They're not in quotes. That's what riling the TIMs.

Oh wow.

And I wonder how long before it is changed. I reckon it will have changed by 5 pm.

It's rather funny they tried to ban this tweet via police and now it's posted on the BBC. Rare moment I'm proud to be British .

Their attempts to control the language and thoughts of everyone in society never ends does it?

Indeed. And what they're fewmin about is that it's a BBC journalistic expression, not a quote from the antiChrist Glinner.

There's hope yet. Does anybody know the address to write to at the BBC in support of using a phrase like "trans-identified male" for accuracy's sake? I note that the TRAs will be reacting in full force against it.
