Another reason why the BBC tread so lightly?

[AlwaysLeftie]

There has often been discussion around why some institutions seem to be so easily captured by trans ideology. Well-regarded people within the organisation having a family member who is trans-identified is often thought to be one reason. No one wants to upset or offend, so the 'be kind' culture gets established, and no one wants to be the meanie pointing out the elephant in the room.

I've been following a certain cute-adopted-dog-from-abroad story featuring a BBC journalist. It appears the journalist has a trans-identified son. The story is absolutely heart warming, and the family seem completely lovely.

But I can't help thinking - this is a long-standing, well-loved journalist. Is this one of the reasons BBC editors have been quite so blind to the realities of trans ideology?

I do know there are many at the bbc who are what you'd call GC. I met a local bbc news reporter (a tv news reader) at a local women's rights terf meeting in 2019 who is now down in London.

Her main concern back then was the lack of balance in output and from what she said she clearly had many colleagues who felt the same. She had no qualms being at the meeting and out talking about it.

@MandyMotherOfBrian thank you so much for all your work. I understand exactly what you're trying to say and it's an interesting perspective. There are most definitely certain 'types' of people and parents very invested in gender ideology.

(As an aside I'm absolutely desperate for a dog and would have a rescue but had assumed with a reception age child and 10 yr old it simply wouldn't be possible. Is it worth me contacting the dogs trust?)

What happened in the five years previously? I used to work at the BBC, and my role took me to London (Broadcasting House) and around many of the English, Welsh and Northern Irish sites. I met and interacted with thousands of employees and not one was transgender. I can’t believe they went from none to several hundred so quickly.

I suppose all that needed to happen was a staff audit that included a tick box or two saying "transgender" or "non binary" etc and anyone who knew about and fitted under stonewall's umbrella ticked that box.

When did the bbc get transwashed trained by stonewall?

Here you go, an article about trans influence at the BBC:

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11638659/Has-fear-called-transphobic-led-BBC-allow-militant-pro-trans-group-censor-reporting.html

One senior BBC News insider says: ‘Quite a few people think they [BBC Pride] have too much power. They silence debate, especially over gender ideology. The BBC shies away from reporting the subject. It’s not balanced in any way. Staff are afraid of expressing gender-critical views.’

No, OP, suggesting that the BBC has become a bastion of genderism because one minor journalist has a trans child is daft.

This man, Phil Harrold:
www.bbc.com/aboutthebbc/whoweare/phil-harrold

has immense influence at the BBC and is an advocate at the highest level for the LGBTQ+ staff network. He's been named by BBC staff as a key influencer.

Could you point out who you're referring to as a troll, please?

The BBC is no longer affiliated with Stonewall whatsoever.

You would do well to take anything that the Daily Mail say about the BBC with a huge pinch of salt, the Pride group are a staff network with no editorial control.

So what's your explanation for the bbc being totally captured by trans ideology?

"Although the BBC will not be renewing its participation in the Diversity Champions Programme, in the future we will continue to work with a range of external organisations, including Stonewall, on relevant projects to support our LGBTQ+ staff."

It's very simple to show the lie in that statement, no matter how often you make it.

Quote taken from the BBC website.

I think a lot of the most vocal TRAs have skin in the game and need to justify externally something that must cause a lot of cognitive dissonance and family heartache. Eg Mr Foxkiller's trans niece or Ms Chocolat's trans offspring.

I take everything they write with a dose of scepticism, but it doesn't mean that they're wrong. The Beeb are in thrall to trans ideology. The Pride group may not officially have any hard status, but they are certainly influencing things there.
