Heads up for anyone interested. I don't know who will be on the show discussing this, but may be worth a listen?

Wow. Pleasantly surprised by the BBC.

I am too, sort of. David Bell did a great interview with PM yesterday, Sue Evans did another excellent one with Today this morning, and then Hannah Barnes was very good on Woman's Hour.

Excellent. Well done, Beeb. But...

They recognise a sinking ship when they see one, don't they? They have been pushing this ideology for years, and a Today producer said he refused to have a "horrid old Terf" on the programme. For years Woman's Hour refused to touch the subject. Graham Linehan was roasted on Newsnight for saying exactly what Hilary Cass is saying now. So the BBC owe us all (and Graham in particular) a massive apology for having pushed this ideology on us uncritically for several years.

Excellent point

Exactly this. I've lost count of the number of times I have complained to the BBC over the last few years about their biased coverage. I've just looked back at my emails including my complaint about that Today producer in 2019. In the BBC's reply to that there is this gem defending their 'wide range of transgender stories'

'The new BBC News LGBT correspondent Ben Hunte looked at the new ban on transgender people entering the US military, while the BBC News website covered the help offered by the NHS to children experiencing gender identity issues.'

Well, that's aged well ...

They did evict mermaids from their website some time ago however.

And WH had a transwidow on ages ago. Plus Nolan...

I don't think they've felt confident enough to be able to discuss more freely till Cass/ Bailey/ now the Tavistock and probably a hell of a lot of TRAs working there...

And yet when they were pretty much forced by the Nolan podcast to ditch their membership of Stonewall they turned to INvolve for D+I training. INvolve here, with its manifesto proposing proactive inclusion — experienced by BBC journalists as enohortaiton to use their influence and power to promote the transgender people and ideology whenever they could.

The outright sexism displayed by some of the callers.

"Girls toys "

The state of it
