"Trans identified male" - there's hope for the BBC yet

[Charabanc]

Oh dear, the transes are very upset about this. They're all "sad times" and "literal genocide".

I heard this phrase on the Radio 4 news yesterday. And here it is in black and white, on the BBC news report. This would never have happened a year ago, when TWWstillW.

The first post, from his X feed, called it a "violent, abusive act" for a trans-identified male to be in a female-only space. He suggested: "Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails punch him in the balls."

Yes, I stand by what I said. Cheers.

The piece says it was updated 6 hours ago but that’s before this thread started and it had the other version then, obviously.

It's as amazing just how much of that article was in quotation marks but that bit wasn't!

oh to have been a fly on the wall as they realised their transgression😂

Some hapless individual will have had a lesson on the all-important difference between a literal quote and just using the same words.

It was disappointingly predictable but at least the quote may start to instil reality into a few more people’s minds.

Oh boo bloody hoo.

Why is it that when we tell TRAs that the term “cis woman” is a slur they dismiss it as a “statement of fact”, yet trans identifying woman is slur akin to racism/anti semitism according to them, and “literal genocide”
They are fucking nuts.

This latest Glinner debacle has at least rammed the term ‘trans identified male’ down a few more people’s throats and is now what some people will call those men instead of ‘trans women’. It boils my piss them appropriating the word women but they can have the word TIM. Baby steps.

I'd not set too much by this theory at all. They quoted him.
