Remember how the BBC platformed a rapist in their article about cis women being "pressured" to have sex with trans women?

Rapist and domestic abuser.

They also interviewed trans people for it but didn't include any of their comments because they didn't "tell the right story".

Literal insanity. It's not even a joke. It's straight up nationalised bigotry.

And how the closest they came to acknowledging it or apologising was to say it “didn’t meet accuracy standards”?

All well and good after they tell millions of people we’re rapists, to quietly go “tho we can’t be sure”.

The fact they weren’t required to issue an outright retraction still bothers me. Imagine if they wrote that article about any other demographic.

The wiki article really shows what a farce it is.

“It was renamed-“ to still push a narrative that trans women are pressuring people into sex they don’t want…
