The BBC has quoted Fallon Fox

[PamDenick]

Just watching BBC news. They interviewed Fallon Fox who stated that there is no scientific advantage for a transitioned mtf athlete in women’s sports!
This is just so wrong!

Fallon Fox interview is with Lucy Hocking in Tokyo.
Nic Williams was with Victoria Fritz in BH Newsroom.

"Sounds pretty dehumanising, that it's about sex not about feelings."

It's sports! It's all about the body and what it can do, not feelz! Looking forward to 2024, by which time we'll probably have Bronies in the Equestrian.

If anyone fancies making another complaint... BBC again, making out that these runners are female when - if you look at the participation rules - they must be genetically male.

If you think BBC is bad then you should try CNN where they don't just drink the Kool-Aid, they swim in it:

"Sounds pretty dehumanising, that it's about sex not about feelings."

What a truly bizarre statement!

In any context, but especially in the context of women's sport.

@PamDenick

I laughed when Natalie told us persons ‘far cleverer than l” could explain the rules better! No shit Ms Sherlock!

Considering the supposed importance of pronouns, you’d expect the correct one to be used: far cleverer than ME

@cariadlet

Just found the Fallon Fox interview. It starts at 10.04. Time for another complaint to the BBC.

Is that on the BBC too?

@yourhairiswinterfire

Wtf?

So the BBC are prepared to report and block people on Twitter for objecting to males in women's sports, but they'll happily listen to a bio male who fought a woman and fractured her skull in just 2 minutes, then went on to brag about it?

GTF BBC

I saw that statement, and the reaction on Twitter.

Was it aimed at people objecting to males in women's sport?

I am probably missing something (don't know my way around Twitter), but Hate Won't Win goes back a long way and was primarily conceived in relation to racism??

Yes, it was on BBC2. It was very brief. Fallon Fox talking to camera and no questions from an interviewer.

My last post was a reply to @EyesOpening

@Ninkanink huh? What have I clarified? I am not part of this thread and have not even commented. You must be referring to someone else. Helleo... perhaps?

Radio 4’s coverage this morning was better. The male sports correspondent said something like
“LH is 43 and not a very good weightlifter but the issues are much wider... “

The woman who has her head cracked open by Fox didn't even know she was competing against a male. That should be criminal.

This is MMA fighter Fallon Fox, who identifies as a trans woman, fighting Tamikka Brents.

Brents suffered a concussion and a fractured skull and had to receive 7 staples to the head.

Last year Fox tweeted, "I enjoyed it. I love smacking up [TERFs] in the cage." t.co/YeweDdxTko

This Fallon Fox, who boasts about physically assaulting women & enjoying it? Wtf is happening at the BBC? Today they have also tweeted out a piece of absolute propaganda on Hubbard followed by an attempt at suppressing dissenting opinion worthy of North Korea. I have supported & defended the license fee my entire adult life, no more - the BBC are a disgrace to journalism

And will they stop saying it is complex! It is not complex.
Female BBC reporter saying (end of session on BBC1 before lunchtime news) that the situation is complex and that Laurel Hubbard has met all the criteria and her hormone levels are the 'correct level'.
What they don't tell you is that his levels are still normal for a male and not on par with female testosterone which are much, much lower.

I've submitted my complaint too, on 2 counts. Bias by a presenter, and interviewing Fallon Fox for an opinion (I quoted that tweet by FF, so thank you for that).

Fucking hell. I'm so appalled. I don't know what to say. This is horrible.

@hella ah sorry that was a STUPID auto ‘incorrect’! Sorry for tagging you!

This is making me rage. Where do I complain?

Sky News just had a Swedish Professor on who stated nothing can get rid of the advantage men have, once they’ve gone through puberty. It was on around 10 mins ago.

Sorry I didn’t get a chance to watch anymore, just caught that bit.

My guess is the BBC doesn't care. All this will be aired, they will then uphold the complaint, after months by which time it will no longer matter.

We are either watching the end of women's sport, or the beginning of fairness - any guess as to what will happen?

I've complained. Please everyone complain and let the BBC know that we won't stand for this.

Complaint sent

What time and programme was the Fritz/Washington exchange?

Was it BBC News bulletin - on the News Channel or BBC2?
