The BBC is pushing trans propaganda on pre-schoolers.

[TheywontletmehavethenameIwant]

"CBeebies, the BBC’s platform for pre-school children, has run a bizarre puff piece lionising two transvestite prostitutes."

Why is CBeebies celebrating transvestite sex workers? - spiked

I so wish I didn't have to pay a licence fee to this trashy corporation.

Have you bothered to read the article?

it makes bugger all sense and doesnt even clarify the “puff piece” in question

Well you don’t “have to” Op

Hi OP, There was a thread on this:

https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5278371-cbeebies-inspirational-mums-can-you-guess?page=2&reply=142317095

Not what the op is posting about

How is it not, it's the about the same CBeebies list?

The op is referring to a a piece about transvestites celebrating sex workers

the other thread is about trans being included in a piece about mothers

No, @Othermentions you are either misunderstanding or misrepresenting. The article in the OP is talking about the article in the linked thread.

Oh heavens apologies!

What an odd piece on the CBeebies website. It's clearly not aimed at tiny children but at their mothers and perhaps other caregivers. I hope very much they're not suggesting that the adults should try to rephrase the description of the two drag queens in terms that a toddler can understand, but frankly none of the cases mentioned would be easy to talk to a preschooler about, in my view. Perhaps I underestimated the capabilities of my children . I am also baffled by the presence on the list of Holly Willoughby and Stacy Solomon. Is that the best they can do?

I wouldn't suggest talking to under-5s about the experience of Jewish families during WW2, but two absolutely inspirational mothers are described in Danny Finkelstein's excellent book ^Hitler, Stalin, Mum and Dad: A Family Memoir of Miraculous Survival^ - his two grandmothers. I've just read this and was deeply moved by it. Can't recommend strongly enough.

I did read it yes, I thought it might be of interest to mum's this being Mumsnet and all.

CBeebies seems entirely the wrong place for mentioning such things, they seem to want it shoe horn this ideology into every area of their output.

I do have to pay the licence because I watch live telly, all though it is getting less and less, and if the BBC was turned into a subscriber platform I definitely won't be subscribing.

Was this about the two ‘inspirational’ men who were ‘mothers’ in a house of ill-repute that apparently trafficked children for pornography (hence a ‘star’ house)?

I've since learnt that

"A BBC spokesman responded: “This archived page was published five years ago in the ‘grown-up’ section of the CBeebies website to celebrate International Women’s Day.”

It doesn't say why they saw fit to put such a page on CBeebies website, even if it was in the adult section, nor does it explain what it has to do with International Women's Day.

I knew that Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson had been retrospectively 'transed' so as to falsify the history of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in NYC
Transgender references removed from Stonewall Bar NYC website | Mumsnet
but I didn't know about Rivera and Johnson's 'Star House', nor that they had been included in CBEEBIES publicity material as 'mums', so thank you for the post, OP, it was useful.
