@ArabellaScott WTF?!

These are photos from the fragrant Brigitte's Instagram. He is very proud of his breasts.

I wonder how many of the 99 actual women have similar instagram pictures? I'm guessing none.

Last time I looked, they were well over 400 trans people working at the BBC. What's the betting that anything's that got the word woman in it, they all decide they must find a man to be included, and then put pressure on all the higher ups to do it, or else.

Obviously, no higher ups should be allowing it.

Plus a man with a quite obvious fetish is the best they can come up with? Dear God what does it tell you about the pool they're choosing from

It raised a smile to see Birgitte’s cat scratching the armchair and photobombing the purple tights shot.

Well, I assume those breasts cost a lot of money. So need to get as high a ROI as possible.

I mean look at this nonsense

Brigitte Baptiste, Colombia
Ecologist
As a transwoman biologist, Brigitte Baptiste explores the common patterns between biodiversity and gender identity.
She uses a queer lens to analyse landscapes and species in a bid to expand the notion of "nature" to better protect ecosystems. In her 2018 TEDx talk, she used the Quindío wax palm, Colombia’s national tree, as an example of an organism known to switch its gender from male to female across its lifetime.
A renowned academic, Baptiste spent 10 years as director of the Alexander von Humboldt Institute and currently serves as president of Universidad EAN in Bogota, a higher-education institution focused on sustainable entrepreneurship.
She has also campaigned for better funding to get more LGTBQ+ people into higher education.

just as humans are not clownfish, humans are also not palm trees

Please tell me this is a joke

The other 99 are to busy curing cancer, working for world peace & chipping away at oppressive regimes to create content for their insta.

If only these ladies would get their priorities sorted, they too could achieve the same top tier womanning as Baptise.

Helleofabore · 03/12/2024 21:08

As others have said, do we take the fact it is only one (I haven’t checked myself so I take other’s word for it) as a positive that it wasn’t more?

HaveYouActuallyDoneAnyWashingThisWeekMum · 03/12/2024 21:15

Those photos are just grim. Clearly NOT a woman.

BBC, why is there a man on your top 100 women list?

ahjeez · 03/12/2024 21:16

There are so many amazing women on this list. Really inspired and moved by a lot of the stories.

Here is whom we are supposed to be celebrating. We are supposed to look for inspiring examples of womanhood in this fetishist.

BBC, this is a fucking insult.

Well that's a fine figure of a...... Person.

So he waited until he'd achieved a relatively powerful position as a normal man before imposing his fetish on unconsenting others. Something the BbC is actively participating in.

And this is why I don't pay my TV license.

Crikey, do his gender bending trees obsess about their falsies, too?

Some of the LGBT+ activists are celebrated for fighting far more than a bit of dead naming. This guy has queer trees.

TheCoolOliveBalonz · 03/12/2024 21:34

I didn't even look at it as I knew they would be defining women different to how I would.....

I pray the Daily Mail/Telegraph/Sky News pick these photos up. They all hate the BBC and this coming on the back of exposure of the BBC ignoring Greg Wallace’s disgusting behaviour, will finish off a great week of PR against the BBC.
I can’t forgive them for their pushing of trans ideology on their CBBC station and they deserve all the flack they get.

Have to admit I saw Brigitte and gave up reading. I'll go back and read about the actual inspirational women later.

themostspecialelfintheworkshop · 03/12/2024 22:12

It's such an insult this man with a fetish is named in a list that also contains Gisele Pelicot. The BBC are despicable.

borntobequiet · 04/12/2024 09:31

Ugh, those pictures. I wish I’d seen them before I made my complaint to the BBC.
It took me all of four minutes on Google to find some exemplary women grassroots environmentalists in South America who have effected significant change with few resources and absolutely no male privilege.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 04/12/2024 09:38

Haha that's a new one! Clownfish, sea slugs, mushrooms, strawberries and now palm trees.

Joan Smith article from Unherd about this

https://unherd.com/newsroom/brigitte-baptiste-does-not-belong-on-bbcs-100-women-list/

I wondered if the choice of name came from Bardot. No prizes for guessing why he stole her name (spoiler, it's not because of her work in animal rights).

If I was one of the women on that list (I've checked and I'm not 😕), I'd be tempted to contact the Beeb and demand that my name was removed. I wouldn't want to be a part of a cheap gesture that reduces women to a token setting to display one man. A particularly grim example of one at that.

I don't blame the women on the list for not bothering though. They've probably got better things to do than worry about the BBC's dick pandering.

Brigitte Baptiste does not belong on BBC's 100 Women list

You’ve probably never heard of Brigitte Baptiste, but the BBC certainly has. As the corporation proved last year, no list of women is complete these days without at least one man, and Baptiste ticks all the right boxes. The self-styled “queer ecologist...

'Where's willy' is completely spot on. You open the list knowing it'll be there.
