Turned on @BBCWomansHour this morning to hear someone ( an interviewee not an interviewer) talking about “pregnant people.” Turned it off again. Still not getting the message: this is Woman’s Hour, not People’s Hour.

My letter in today's Camden New Journal. I have always supported the sex-based rights of women and LGB people as well as the right of trans people to live their best lives.

Pleased to add my name to this. Time to deal fairly with the Bill to see it through our House, improved where needed, but without delay. The public wants it and so should we.
NEW: 65 peers have written to all lords urging them not to block the bill. “It is not our role to frustrate the clear democratic mandate” of the Commons. Signed by the likes of Neil Kinnock, Ruth Davidson, Robert Winston and others.

Dame Jenni Murray: I left #womanshour due to the trans issue. I said I rejected the word cis and wanted single-sex spaces to be maintained. As a result, I received threats of violence. The BBC responded by: Telling me I must not talk about this issue again

DAME JENNI MURRAY: For me, there were no hugs, only a few tears and I simply walked away from the sometimes suffocating embrace of Auntie, with whom I had spent nearly 50 years of my life...

Serious reflection needed now within Police Scotland over the fact that a lobby group was able to convince them that men who raped women and children were not in fact men. Lessons need to be learned.
Police Scotland Chief Constable Jo Farrell: "A man who rapes or attempts to rape a woman, girl or other victim is, should be, and will be recorded by Police Scotland as a male." "Let me be clear - my priority is to protect victims."

They put a fucking man in the ring with a woman. The BBC applauded.

Dame Jenni Murray: I left Womans Hour after 33 years due to the trans issue. I rejected the word ‘cis’, said I wanted single-sex spaces and received threats of violence in return. The BBC response was ‘never talk about this issue again’ (via @DailyMail)

I will never forget or forgive this disgusting @BBCNews report claiming trans milk was just as good for babies as mothers’ milk. Totally deranged, cultist behaviour.
Seems like a good day to share my exposé of the BBC's report that supported the idea that male 'milk' was just as good for babies as women's breast milk. I looked at the evidence behind the claims and found the BBC had got their facts completely wrong. https://t.co/4jWEC86s8R

I can remember how upset I was at the BBC when their boxing correspondent was supportive of men battering women at the Paris Olympics. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

It shouldn't have taken a decade for female athletes and campaigners to secure these protections for the integrity, fairness and safety of women's sports, but I'm glad the IOC and Olympics seem to be finally reaching that point.

The BBC is not helping itself by demonstrating that it's a boys' club. Men with presenting jobs interviewing men with BBC podcasts, to near-total exclusion of women. @BBCr4today This is the failure of impartiality writ large.

I may have missed something but I think every contributor the Today Programme has had on to discuss systemic bias at the BBC has been a man. Despite the fact that one of the key allegations of bias is in relation to its bias against women’s rights. Sums it up really.

1./ 🧵The BBC's Guilt. Defenders of the BBC keep insisting it never promoted trans ideology. Yet here's more snippets from the BBC's own schools materials. In this clip primary school kids are told they can be born with a gender identity different from their body. 👇

I’ve been reading the heartfelt excuses for the BBC from some of their most esteemed commentators & journalists. I am not on the side of ‘defund’, but I’m deeply disappointed & concerned that our public broadcaster has been so lax & downright irresponsible in their reporting. Men

“The overwhelming feedback from patients and families was gratitude.” Dr Jeanne Snelling told the House of Lords Select Committee that New Zealand’s experience of assisted dying shows how compassion, safety and choice can, and do, coexist in practice.

Lucky that the BBC wasn’t policing facial expressions for signs of personal views when Jeremy Paxman was at Newsnight. Either that or it just has different rules for female presenters.
