sorry i dont get it, why are they doing this
It looks like the BBC are on an impartiality drive; after increasing accusations that it is biased (accusations that come from both the left and the right). They seem to be issuing new 'social media guidance' to help staff avoid "perceptions of bias" in particular through social media (liking, reposting, sharing etc).

The TRA's are up in arms because they see this as an attack on LGBT. Particularly the T. Also as an attack on freedom of speech.

There's no denying that the trans debate has become politically charged and I see this move as the BBC trying to protect itself from a debate that doesn't seem to be going away, particularly on social media.

It seems a shame that staff won't be able to go events like pride because of this - but we don't know the full guidance or if this is really the guidance being given. That might just be Butterworthless (love this by the way!) being hyperbolic as per usual.

The BBC can't seem to win. It should be an impartial news source but neither the left or right think it is.

I might be in the minority here but I think it's a ballsy move from the BBC. Staff were using official BBC accounts to push their own agenda

That's precisely what I mean! These people are mind blowingly stupid and once you see it, you can't unsee it

Twitter is ablaze at the moment, Benjamin Butterworthless tweeted this:

Is Benjamin B still identifying as a black man these days? Or has he moved onto Asian, or perhaps Chinese? Wouldn’t believe a word that comes out of that liars mouth.

ah I see, in a way it's sad that they can't support causes they as individuals stand for, but that seems to be the smart decision to make as a media outlet.

That's the whitest black man I've ever seen. was one of his parents chalk?

Lolling at the notion of Benjamin Butterworth being impartial and unbiased 😂
I'm partial to Butterfingers - he can't hold on to a winning argument

So much this
100% Ive read some horrific fantasies about transwomen wanting to be grape etc. Disgusting.

And imo transmen are trying to avoid the struggles of being a woman. Trying to remove their sexuality by hiding curves and breasts, so they arent victim to the things a women struggles with. Womens gender dysphoria is usually because they cant cope with all that comes with being a woman in a mans world.

There’s a post on r/unpopularopinions on reddit titled “pregnant people are gross” and the ‘pregnant people’ part angered me more than the post itself. I was tempted to ask exactly how many Male pregnant people this person has come across in their life but honestly can’t be arsed with the drama that would ensue.

Dare I ask why they think pregnant women are gross? 😬

I'm reminded of those two women who had a song called "Pregnant Women Are Smug" go viral and then get used in a TV advert. I wonder if they've been asked yet to re-record it as "Pregnant People Are Smug"?

What do you all make of this argument?
I mean, Colonialism wasn't great for gender issues in Australia but not because it erased a third gender. See this report from 2002: https://aifs.gov.au/cfca/publicatio...l-communities/aboriginal-beliefs-about-gender

These arguments kind of read like them saying 'trans/nb people existed in traditional communities and so Terfs are also racist.'

But that seems to me a bit like they're coopting another debate/human rights issues for their own benefit? I don't know if I am expressing myself well here.
