The BBC has upheld 20 impartiality complaints over the way presenter Martine Croxall altered a script she was reading live on the BBC News Channel, which referred to "pregnant people" earlier this year.

So condemned by association ro some extent. I suppose there has to be a concerted effort to persuade women not to back up other women. Otherwise we might get above ourselves
Amazing really that they've upheld this when no complaint I've ever made about blatant untruth (eg referring to allegedly-trans-identidied male criminals as 'she' ) has ever been responded to with any level of seriousness.

And given the bit in question was a misquotation from normal language into NewSpeak.
there is another thread on this btw.

Was the BBC determined to destroy the excellent reputation it once had? We already know BBC will ignore newsworthy events, such as numerous attacks on women trying to speak out for their rights, that show transactivists in a bad light.

We also know BBC reports have doctored recorded speech to give a false impression, eg Trump apparently calling for violence in a speech which did not call for violence.

Now it seems you mustn't use normal vocabulary or allow your facial expression to reveal distaste for having to twist the English language into Newspeak nonsense.

Sall Grover, in Roxy Tickle’s Federal Court case, was asked about candles that someone made that apparently smell like smelly testicles. Sall just snorted at that. In the judgement, Tickle was awarded an extra $10,000 in aggravated damages because his barrister asked a question, the respondent answered and that caused hurted feelings.

Please, does anyone know of any cases where men have had to pay for an unconscious reaction?

Women are not only told what to do, what to say and what to think, now we have to ensure it's all done in a robotic manner. Stop being human, ladies. It's hurting the mens.
