My hope is that trans activists will consider the BBC finally reporting sensibly on trans-related issues as an attack and have a narcissistic rage meltdown. And for this to happen in the public domain as the public are paying attention.

What's the betting they have a group of penis owners discussing this and no uterus-havers?

Though the BBC website does actually have an article on the Tavistock clinic and worries over affirmation only - near the top of the page too.

Listening...

feministfairy · 25/02/2019 17:24

Interesting that they're discussing anti vaxxers at the moment - delusionists at large and mainly on the internet

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 25/02/2019 17:26

Anti Vaxers. Wakefield dating a super model... 🙄

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 25/02/2019 17:26

Although the programme before was about quack doctors!

Yes - Justin Webb did a really good hard hitting piece on the Tavi on the today programme this morning. What with that, now this, and the reporting on plans to teach about trans stuff all through primary school, I think the Beeb has finally accepted that they have to cover this.

Yes, I read that about Wakefield just the other day. And he seems to be employed as a darling of the anti vaxxers or something along those lines. What a way to resurrect some form of career. Shock

Perhaps Haddock will be forced to follow a similar path... Grin

In New Zealand?

HumberElla · 25/02/2019 17:38

Ha! Yes I’ve just listened to the snake oil salesmen piece and the anti science brigade!

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 25/02/2019 17:40

Sounds like a man we deal with at work. Deffo a man who thinks he is a man. I was very confused for a while.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 25/02/2019 17:42

Oh do bugger off you dimwit. Get a bloody biologist to discuss. And I don’t believe there are that many intersex people in the world. Fibby McFibface
