LGBT staff at the BBC have heavily criticised the broadcaster for how it has handled stories about transgender people – with many threatening to quit.
The BBC Pride Network – a group of LGBTQ+ employees – used a ‘listening session’ on Monday to share frustrations with bosses after BBC News published an article claiming that some trans women are rapists, according to VICE World News.
The BBC was forced to edit the piece – headlined ‘We’re being pressured into sex by some trans women’ – after it emerged that former porn actress Lily Cade – who was quoted in the article – had previously decribed trans women ‘vile, weak and disgusting’ and appeared to call for high-profile trans women to be lynched.
Now that Auntie has rightly ditched its relationship with Stonewall – and hopefully more organisations will follow suit – we see a temper tantrum ensuing. Frankly, if they want to leave, let them. There are plenty of talented people out there who would love a job in broadcasting. People who will leave their politics at the door, where it should be left.
As for the claim that some transwomen are rapists, this is objectively true, some are. Clearly these people don’t like reality. It is also objectively true that the trans lobby is doing its best to undermine women along with pressurising straight men and lesbians into entering into relationships with them as if they are real women – which they are not. Declining this is deemed to be phobic.
I got into an exchange with a gay man on another site (oddly enough my subsequent replies appear to have been deleted. There’s a surprise) where he claimed that he couldn’t tell the difference between real men and trans men and that having sex with them didn’t make him straight. When challenged, he spouted the usual sophistry about assigned genders and how gender and sex are not the same thing. All I can say is that he should have gone to specsavers if he really cannot tell a trans man from the real thing. I can spot a trans woman a mile off. I certainly don’t need to get intimate with them to tell. And, no, I don’t want to date them because I am not homosexual.
The BBC, like the NHS needs to be closed down, burnt to the ground and other organisations allowed (nay, encouraged) to fill their roles.
Both have long passed their usefulness and original purpose and have morphed into self serving parodies of their original intent.
I totally agree.
Unfortunately, if the Tories ever did terminate the TV license the BBC would be dead overnight and the wailing and gnashing of teeth would never unending. They seem to be set along a path of managed decline, whereby they let the BBC piss off people through their bias, climate change lies and lefty bollocks without throwing them any lifeline.
It pretty much guarantees the slow death of the BBC without easy claims that “The Tories killed it”.
The youngsters have no interest in “broadcast TV” and have better things to spend their money on than an anachronism such as the TV license, so the number of license holders is only going to continue to decline at an ever increasing pace.
I thought that the BBC became an anachronism when digital TV with multiple channels came along, that’s if it wasn’t already by that time. The fact that streaming services have expanded viewing choices even further makes it even more so. I’m pretty sure that my 25yo daughter and her housemate will have a TV licence but I don’t know how much of the BBC’s output they watch, not much I suspect as they have stuff like Netflix and other internet stuff piped into their telly. I suspect that quite a lot of the decline in TV licence payments may be down to older people being so pissed off with the BBC that they have researched how to go licence free legally and gone down that route.
OT again, but I thought that I’d share this ’cause I know that you enjoy a nice rant.

Good god. It never ends.
Of course trannies aren’t quitting the BBC. The money is good, the job is cushy, and they get treated like royalty.
And if they quit, they can’t keep bullying the BBC into going along with their fetish.
It’s a crying shame that this story is fake news, though. I expect a lot of institutions would be far better off were their transgender cohort to depart
J K Rowling’s agent had that happen. I very much doubt the troublemakers managed to get another agent to take them on as the industry now knows they are trouble.
With luck we’ll also rid the BBC of all the useless c*nts who between them have managed to ruin Top Gear, Dr Who, Question Time and A Question of Sport at the same time
