The BBC has no pro-trans bias. The BBC is appalling on trans issues, just like the rest of the media.

I came across a clip from yesterday from LBC of John Sopel and Emily Maitlis talking to Shelagh Fogarty about what's happening at the BBC and they all conceded the complainant DID have a point about the BBC's pro-trans bias and it was just three people being transphobic for a couple of minutes.

Revealing division in my timeline between (1) my insider friends who have lived privileged lives who are very keen that we defend the BBC and think it's important it survives and (2) my outsider friends who feel (at best) ambivalent about the BBC's survival.

Baroness #ThangamDebbonaire might want to group talk privately but directly with the like of @translucent.org.uk, @transactualuk.bsky.social, @scottishtrans.bsky.social, maybe @mimmymum.bsky.social, @dadtrans.bsky.social & @goodlawproject.bsky.social to get a much better sense of her beloved #BBC

The media must find a way to speak to all sides of the political divide. If we don’t, then soon nobody will listen - and that would spell catastrophe for democracy. One of the steps to rock bottom will be the death of the BBC. We just edged closer to the abyss

My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column
Crisis-hit BBC is just another casualty of the collapse of the 20th century rulebook
Like the Tory-Labour duopoly and the NHS, the BBC is a hangover from an age that’s dying. We must find how to make the media relevant again,…

The state of the country today. Licence to be abusive and abusing an individual on a public thoroughfare in full view of the police who are trying to maintain some safety. The proud abusers grin in their self satisfaction.
This video documents the antagonism and transphobia I experienced for legitimately reporting on the event in the capacity as freelance journalist.

Weird request: in July @amnestyuk.bsky.social said they’d done a report on anti-rights groups in the UK

Does anyone have a copy of that report?

Their website only has this blog summarising it, not the report itself. News articles about it also only link the blog. I wanna read the full report!

Would recommend this interview Andrew Mountbatten Windsor’s biographer Andrew Lownie gave to @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on how power and secrecy work in modern Britain.

Particularly interesting on the censoring of history and how the Prince was championed by Peter Mandelson and Tony Blair...

Trans women are already banned from all of the sports at an international federation level already. This framing is a lie aimed at hiding the fact they're now going after other women that they don't like.
