🧵 Thread: How @BBC Became a National Vector for Gender Ideology (2005–2025)
1/ For two decades, @BBC hasn’t just reported on gender ideology; it has amplified and normalised it. This thread outlines how one of the most influential institutions in the UK adopted a belief system that remains legally and scientifically contested.

2/ 2005–2010: The Drift Begins
Following the Gender Recognition Act, the BBC began shifting its editorial tone. By 2010, its own diversity reports used activist terms like “gender identity” and “assigned at birth” - introduced without legal or scientific grounding.

3/ 2010–2015: Outsourcing Neutrality
.@BBC joined Stonewall’s Diversity Champions scheme. Policy, language and training materials began aligning with Stonewall definitions. A lobby group was shaping editorial norms; the BBC still claimed independence.

4/ 2015–2020: Ideology as Editorial Line
Children’s content across @cbbc, @bbcbitesize and even @bbceastenders adopted the language of gender identity theory. These ideas were presented as settled fact; biology was reframed as flexible; dissenting views were absent.

5/ 2015–2020: Silencing Inside the Building
BBC journalists have since confirmed that questioning the new line was discouraged. Training promoted advocacy, not impartiality; legal definitions of sex were treated as problematic views.

6/ 2021: Exposure and Denial
Nolan Investigates broke the story wide. Journalists admitted they were afraid to question internal policy; editorial independence had given way to activist-aligned compliance. BBC withdrew from Stonewall only after public scrutiny.

7/ 2024: Supreme Court Judgment Ignored
In @forwomenscotland, the UK Supreme Court ruled that “sex” in law means biological sex. But the BBC has failed to update its guidance; toilets remain mixed; staff policy still conflates sex and gender identity.

8/ 2025: Still No Correction
Despite clear legal direction, @BBC continues to mislead by omission. It uses taxpayer money to promote one worldview; it has reshaped national understanding of sex, safety and law without accountability or correction.

9/ Why It Matters
The BBC isn’t just a broadcaster. It defines tone; sets narratives; influences legislation and public understanding. For 20 years, it has promoted contested ideology as settled truth. And it has punished those who challenged it.

10/ The Questions That Must Be Asked
Who authorised this shift? What was the governance process? Why were legal standards abandoned in favour of activist frameworks? These are questions for Parliament, not just Ofcom.

11/ What Needs to Happen
@BBC must now face a full, independent audit of its policies and content on gender identity from 2005 to today.
Parliamentary oversight is essential; public trust will not return without transparency and reform.
