Re: [TV orNotTV] BBC presenters told to hit back on transphobia accusations

[Mark Jeffries]

The link says that this came up after a host of BBC Radio 4's "Today"
programme (no relation to or not to be confused with our "Today" show) said
"trans women, in other words, males" on the air in referring to a story
about whether biological males have an advantage in chess (they obviously
never saw "The Queen's Gambit"). Sounds like the guy was auditioning to
replace Piers Morgan on Rupert's TalkTV or one of the Tory politicians that
the government regulators say cannot host shows on GBNews anymore.

Re: [TV orNotTV] BBC presenters told to hit back on transphobia accusations

[Kevin M.]

So they can’t refer to someone as transphobia unless they, themselves,
“accept” the term?! Isn’t that akin to not calling someone racist unless
they call themselves racist? Can the BBC still refer to Trump as a
buffoonish, chauvinistic, tax-dodging, sexual predator if he doesn’t accept
the term?

['Bob Jersey' via TVorNotTV]

After the network admitted that reports on JK Rowling fell short of 
standards... Deadline reprinted an internal memo on this and related 
subjects sent to journalists and staffs last year...
