There was a literal "trans desk" that policed language and reports across the BBC, leading one newsreader to be publicly chastised for adding the word "women" after balking at having to say, "pregnant people".
That is dehumanising.

So yesterday was the first day for over 2 weeks to see any small boat arrivals in the UK.
There were 9 boats with 621 people.
But despite this, numbers remain very low compared to earlier in the year and most of the last 5 years.
Here is the 28 day averages for people and boats.

This is the oppression ladder in action. A black lesbian counts for less than a white man who claims to be a woman.
BTW: this man has served time for drug dealing and has domestic abuse on his record.
How can anyone think this is OK?
