There's an entire Wikipedia article on one of their more egregious cases, where they platformed a genocidal rapist cis lesbian who was claiming all trans women are rapists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22We%27re_being_pressured_into_sex_by_some_trans_women%22

OK, that's one really article that was in bad faith, but I would argue the topic has journalistic value. But it should have been more nuanced.

Does that make the entire bbc transphobic? I am in full support of trans rights (I have a gender fluid child), but not everything is 100% black and white (cfr gender ;)) , one bad article doesn't make the entire bbc transphobic.

Fair enough. Most articles are still about the original article, but it does seem the bcc (or at least the dinosaurs in control) has its own (shitty) trans agenda... .

Thanks for not attacking me, but giving actual info. Appreciate it.

I'll certainly be more wary about the bbc in the future.

Genocidal? They're mass murdering a special group of people? How have I not heard of this person?

Don't embellish the point. It completely undermines what you're saying.

People who refuse to acknowledge forced sterilisation as genocide are genuinely some of the worst type of people.

I don't think you should be sterilised but I do think you should stop being such an ignoramus.

Somebody is forcibly sterilising people? How have I not heard of this person?

Advocating for genocidal acts still makes one genocidal.
