    Still not really relevant. The BBC’s role is to report objectively and impartially. Posting a “Trans are perving on lesbians” thing as if it’s a giant problem that lesbians are facing when there’s no serious problem with trans people harassing lesbians and when your source is a self-admitted rapist isn’t being objective or impartial. It’s taking a side.

    No, you don’t get a pass for effectively lying to the public because a higher proportion of the public wants to hear “Trans people are sexual harassers” than want to hear that Black people are.

    They’re not showing transphobes to tear them down. Transphobes are being allowed to make the programming.

    I’m not in favor of defedding the BBC, but let’s not pretend they have some legitimate right to punch down on a harmless, vulnerable, minority, be it trans people, Jews, or anyone else.
