BBC Misreporting Stella Creasy Proposal

[OnlyObjectivity]

Right now, BBC Radio One News (Newsbeat) is misreporting the Stella Creasey proposal, stating that the crime would be based on someone's "gender". They are not correctly reporting it as being based on the Protected Characteristics of Sex or Gender Reassignment.

Can we help correct them please by getting in contact? They are broadcasting this right now and throughout the morning on the BBC Radio One Breakfast Show.

There's probably a phone number somewhere, but I can't find it.

Is there not a bit about someone who is 'perceived' to have sex characteristics in the wording of the proposal? If this is correct & it's including males who attempt to replicate women's secondary sex characteristics, then they are likely reporting this accurately. Which is a massive deal, and needs to be explained, especially by Stella Creasy.

"Perceived" is in the mind of the attacker, not the victim.

I suspect they are reporting it accurately. How depressing.

I think it is 'gender' sadly, from Stellas replies in the now deleted thread. So misogyny is now about gender rather than sex. There is no word to describe those of us born female, and no word to describe people who hate us for that

They are reporting this correctly. The trans movement wants to replace 'sex' with 'gender'', they want to rewrite The Equality Act.

It's why so many women are asking questions. Its why we are saying that self ID erases the class of women, and overrides our rights.

This is going to end up with women being prosecuted for the hate crime of misogyny, for not recognising biological men as women.

Newsbeat changed it to "Sex" on Radio 1 Breakfast this morning, Yay!! :-)

It is based on the protected characteristic of sex but to qualify you don't need to have it - you need to "have or be presumed to have".

It's definitely a backdoor way of including people who are not women under the protected characteristic of sex and possibly creating legal precedent for such.

For the short time Stella showed to discuss her guest post about it, she gave a very evasive reply about this.

I would not support this amendment.
