If you think there is a giant conspiracy between the UK government, corporate media, and a handful of well-funded genitally-obsessed bigots to segregate and eliminate trans people from society, that's because there is.

It's definitely a question we will look at. Indeed, if cis women are being turned away now by people who think they 'might be trans' we'd love to hear from them.
Recipie for disaster. Can women who are publicly humiliated and turned away based on wholly subjective and prejudicial judgements sue the provider, or take other meaningful action?

Poll shows 70% of trans people think BBC News is ‘hostile’
The right wing claims the corporation is ‘pro-trans’, but the people at the sharp end of its coverage disagree. The BBC must stop its attack on trans people.
