Sex and gender reporting at the BBC is neither accurate nor impartial.
We have been tracking and complaining about this for some time!
There is the endless coverage of drag...
And the Pride boosterism
Meanwhile the Cass Review which reported on the weak evidence for puberty blockers and misguided “diagnostic overshadowing” was largely reported as a problem of under-capacity in NHS gender clinics
In July 2024 there was a legal challenge against NHS England’s ban on puberty blockers for gender-related treatment. And General Medical Council withdrew scandal-tainted “GenderGP” doctor Helen Webberley’s licence to practise.
The BBC reported... more drag queens.
The BBC didn't report the WPATH files. But it did report this.
Not the WPATH leaks... A different “leaked emails” story was covered, one which aligned with the BBC narrative about children needing more access to gender clinics.
The BBC ignored that WPATH had removed minimum ages for “gender-affirming” surgery after being leaned on by Rachel Levine.
Meanwhile, on Saturday Kitchen guests celebrated a young woman’s double mastectomy done on the basis of her identity as non-binary.
Murderer Scarlet Blake's sex was falsified for months.
The BBC reported a woman killed her wife with a samurai sword...
When a trans-identifying person is a victim, though, their trans status is the whole focus. The BBC frequently reports stories of trans people, sometimes conflated with being drag, and generally with a narrative suggesting intolerance as the central issue.
This kind of thing is news... but violence against gender critical women is not.
