1/ I find this very difficult to accept as a justification for demonstrable BBC bias over gender and I think it underplays the role of fear of cancellation in favour of good faith. What I would say is this, in the first place, journalists accepting orthodoxy is terrifying.
2/ Second, I would say that accepting orthodoxy at a time when the Times newspaper was reporting that staff at the Tavistock had a dark joke that "soon there will be no gay people left" is particularly alarming because accepting orthodoxy here means ignoring or supressing critics
3/ Third, while Hannah Barnes was doing heroic work on Newsnight on the Tavistock for which the BBC deserves credit, it's clear she was swimming against an editorial tide on this issue from the way Graham Linehan was treated.

4/ Fourth, we have to ask what "accepting orthodoxy" actually meant organisationally, and we know from the work of @JournalismSEEN it meant sustained and ruthless organisational capture by a group accountable to Stonewall values.

5/ Fifth, let's not pretend that anything about the BBC's recent decision to uphold a complaint against Maxine Croxall is anything other than powerful evidence that the organisation institutionally favours gender radicals. This culture is clear. Justin Webb is another example.

6/ Sixth, by contrast, when we gay men complained that the second series of a gay male dating show featured a biological female, we were basically told to sod off and stop whinging. We were allowed one whole series of all gay men, then effectively got told we were bigots.
7/ Seventh, when WPATH broke, a story that should have shaken the foundations of "gender medicine" to rubble, the BBC instituted a news blackout. Activists on my side could rely on the print media and GB News. The BBC said nothing. We know why.

8/ It is plain to anyone watching this debate that what is going on here is very much more than good faith accepting a new orthodoxy, because how can you in good faith ignore WPATH or women locked up with rapists or gays and lesbians suddenly saying there is an issue?
9/ The fact of the matter is that the BBC have been an active participant in the pro gender ideology side of the argument both in news content and more widely in general cultural content in way too numerous to mention. We are not stupid. We can see a side has been taken.
10/ While I am pleased to see BBC figures being dragged kicking and screaming to discuss this issue now, I do lament the production of excuses and I note they do for only after @leng_cath has been bashing her head against a brick wall on this for years.
11/ I don't mean to single out David here with the quote tweet, (and I'm grateful to him for standing up for the Cass review within the BBC), but the discussion we are having right now on this is far too defensive of the institution of the BBC and not nearly honest enough.
12/ The honest truth is this. Children and youths were chemically castrated by the NHS who were mostly gay and lesbian, this was 21st gay conversion therapy. Journalists at the BBC knew covering this was career suicide and the organisation became institutionally compromised.

1/ In 2016 the Supreme Court ruled in a criminal case called R v Jogee. The law lords ruled that the law of murder had “taken a wrong turn” and too many had been wrongly convicted on the “joint enterprise” doctrine. Practice in the Crown Court changed the very next day.
2/ There was no guidance on the matter before it was expected to be applied (guidance did follow, but on the basis this had been the law since the time of the judgment) and there was certainly no impact assessment or that sort of thing. The law was the law.
3/ If you contrast that with the For Women Scotland judgment you see something quite different which tells you a lot about the health of the rule of law and which groups are given all but tacit permission to consider themselves above it.

1/ It is irrational for the Secretary of State to impose upon the EHRC what she knows is a laborious and time consuming burden to put off the politically inevitable. The Supreme Court has ruled men are men and women are women, whether Labour backbenchers like that or not.
2/ What we have here is this. The Supreme Court has reached a clear judgment. The Secretary of State knows it is sensible but fears her backbenchers. The Government would rather not have this row so has decided kicking this into the long grass is politically expedient.
3/ The EHRC is duty bound by statue to provide guidance on the law of the Equality Act. The meaning of that act has been settled by the Supreme Court. Assessing regulatory impact is besides the point. Nothing in an EHRC report about such impact changes the law as settled.

1/ As the bitter tide of gender recedes, @stonewalluk have some introspection and apologising to do. They called lesbians "sexual racists", they cancelled and pilloried gay men, they engineered modern gay conversion by preaching children had the wrong bodies....wrong for what?
2/ The answer to that was "the wrong bodies to be heterosexuals", because the 2012 Tavistock patient survey told us the 80% of boys and 90% of girls were same sex attracted.

They had the "wrong bodies" to be straight.

Stonewall pushed this. They aided and abetted this.
3/ The gay rights movement is a naive and new thing left with incompetents post marriage and decimated by our AIDS losses. But it anointed liars like Ruth Hunt who told frightened parents 50% of children denied puberty blockers commit suicide. This was an evil lie.

1/ What a bitter harvest it is to win the gender wars. What a many better thing it would have been to have been wrong. There’s no great joy to being a veteran and saying “yes, you did chemically castrate gay and autistic youth, we were correct”. How empty this victory is.
2/ To win and see the crushing defeat of political transvestitism, the desire to displace sex in law with a feeling based on clothing. To see your society challenged by a force that sought nothing less than to crumble the 4 walls of reality on the weak. Because that’s what it was
3/ Epistemological, moral and post modern chaos where there was no such thing as a woman other than the men who said they were women was a challenge not just to order, but to sanity or any basic truth claim, it was chaos incarnate. And chaos is a jungle. And Jungles…….

1/ It takes a rather implacable and sustained commitment to delusion to imagine that the socially necessary instances of separation of the sexes - a constant in one form or another in all human societies in history - is something we can just toss aside being better enlightened. Image
2/ It is said that when you look into the abyss it peers back into you, and so it is fighting litigious transvestites and their cadre of modern day clerics, only we are looking into a deeply stupid philosophy and it makes us stupid peering back into us. Blokes ain’t ladies.
3/ There are only so many times one can acknowledge universal truths like (1) men commit almost all sex offences (2) men win at almost all sports (3) a nurse with a heavy period certainly needs a space away from blokes before one suffers a sort of intellectual death by repetition

1/ The redoubtable and unsinkable @SVPhillimore can look after herself, but she won’t begrudge me I’m sure adding a few words in the wake of the sinking ship good laugh project and their joke “journalist” trying to silence a woman in public life yet again.
2/ Let’s be clear on that point, while they’ve recruited some compliant they/them “journalist” who quotes her own employer in her copy (LOL), the good laugh project often go for women whether it’s the lesbians of the LGB alliance or sneering at Allison Bailey.
3/ Or going for Baroness Falkner the head of the EHRC or her new replacement, I could go on, but you have the point, when it comes to barristers in their sights it’s women like Sarah and not blokes like Dennis. When it matters, they know what a woman really is.
