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!

The link does not work. Misspelling?

Mail article

Weird suggestion that they will be reporting anyone questioning their right to compete to the 'relevant' authorities. Sinister, or what.

The critic.

Sorry, not very good at links...

I like the critic. Another good article from them here: thecritic.co.uk/every-sport-is-male-sport/

Very good article. Can't believe these individuals aren't embarrassed or ashamed of their infiltration into women's sport. Wonder if their friends and families ever say anything to them about it Confused.

I've had an another automated response from the BBC due to my complaint about the BBC News coverage. They said the response will be delayed due to an unusually high level of complaints. Hopefully lots of complaints about their biased coverage around biological males competing in women's sport!

Yup. Delayed response.
I do feel a bit sorry for the BBC at present as all sorts of complaints atm (did you hear the anti vaxxer on Jeremy Vine?) but I feel I was right to complain about Fallon Fox. I didn’t say BBC has been fully Stonewalled as I want to be factual and respectful in making a complaint…

Got a response from the BBC today...

Thanks for writing to us about BBC News.

I appreciate you have concerns about Victoria Fritz’ questioning when discussing trans athlete, Laurel Hubbard with Natalie Washington (Pride Sport).

It is the role of our presenters to explore different sides of a debate and to ask the questions that would be on the mind of our audience.

Victoria was asking Natalie for her reaction to the previous interviewees opinion on Laurel Hubbard competing in women’s weightlifting. However, we do accept that she could have phrased the question better on this occasion.

Your concerns have been fed back to the news team and thank you for getting in touch.

I had an identical response today too.

MRB2 · 18/08/2021 20:04

same response today too, at least we kept them busy

PamDenick · 18/08/2021 20:11

I’ll await for my response. My complaint was that they quoted Fallon Fox as stating ‘there is no sporting advantage to those who have been through male puberty”
Which is an untruth
