You are so right Prachet why aren't young trans being educated to love their lady parts just as middle aged trans do

Floorplan · 02/07/2018 09:02

I just tried to reply to @VictoriaLIVE but they've deleted their post on today's show. Wierd. 5 others had also replied. I wonder if comments were negative?

When the scandal comes out, the BBC will have to answer the public as they did post Savile, a different scandal, same culture.

Why are licence fee payers funding the BBC to promote a new religious belief?

I am considering cancelling my TV license. I don't watch much TV anyway. Why should I pay for BBC propaganda so Tom, Dick and Harry can use the public service to promote using the public as props...?

Pratchet · 02/07/2018 09:09

Found the new narrative

'Mean feminists are ignoring trans teenagers by worrying about women's safe spaces'

Appalling article Angry sadly at work so can't tweet, hope you guys can.

LangCleg · 02/07/2018 09:10

Yes, LangCleg. I suppose my point was that while it's understandable that some parents think in this way, and they can be contained in many situations, it's a different order of things when it comes to the trans issue.

Exactly. The prevailing cheerleading environment is basically validating narc parents when, ultimately, this will not actually help the child in social relationships with his/her peers.

Shock I'm watching
It's like a sales pitch Shock

ItIsOnlyAnOpinion · 02/07/2018 09:16

It will be footage places like the Mail will use against the BBC once the scandal breaks, I have no sympathy for VD.

Pratchet · 02/07/2018 09:23

Me neither. Lots of validation on the timeline for the Mermaids line Confused

TheQueef · 02/07/2018 09:24

Watching this now.

Hard going.

ItIsOnlyAnOpinion · 02/07/2018 09:24

I just can't support this any more. I am going to cancel the TV license, I am not paying for this.

R0wantrees · 02/07/2018 09:26

Teenagers on at 10am.

Pratchet · 02/07/2018 09:28

It's nothing but exploiting the suffering of gender non-conforming children in order to force the agenda of mainly middle-aged males. This is horrific. Should never have been approved.

TheQueef · 02/07/2018 09:28

Is it me or was that just a promo clip? So earnest but so blase at the same time.

busyboysmum · 02/07/2018 09:31

I tried to comment on the tweet and found it has disappeared. Are the BBC silencing any dissenting voices? Censorship. Absolutely disgusting.

R0wantrees · 02/07/2018 09:34

Is there ever a discussion which does not refer to statistics about vulnerable young people's suicide ideation/attempts?

Samaritans have long established and respected guidelines for media discussion.

PencilsInSpace · 02/07/2018 09:39

Something funny going on with that hashtag. Not much showing up.

People can contact the show in a number of ways.

If it's not fair and balanced, report it

I would imagine that as so much of the focus of the program is on the Hate Crime that people in the transgender community experience, the show may be taking a pro-active approach to ensure that there is no possibility of allowing anything which may be thought by some in this community to contitute hate crime to be allowed.

Recent article which has some relevence:

"THE rights of Scottish schoolgirls are being undermined by rules allowing pupils to adopt a different gender and share changing rooms, it has been claimed, as it emerged schools are unprepared for the controversial overhaul.

A series of Freedom of Information (FoI) requests have revealed that councils have widely backed guidelines produced by organisations campaigning for the rights of transgender people but have not considered how the new approach will affect children – particularly girls.

The new guidelines tell teachers that if a transgender pupil wishes to share a changing room with "other young people who share their gender identity," they should be allowed to do so.

"There is no reason for parents or carers of the other pupils to be informed," it adds.

The guidelines say young people should be able to compete in the sports events for the gender they identify with, and says if other pupils are uncomfortable using changing rooms or toilets with transgender pupils, they should use other facilities or wait until the transgender pupil is done.

However none of the councils involved, nor the children’s commissioner, nor Education Scotland have carried out an equality impact assessment to ensure the rights and wellbeing of other pupils are unaffected. This means the impact on other students has not been taken into account." (continues)
