How on Earth is the BBC "transphobic"?

Although I suppose some of these hardcore activist types think everything is.

I've yet to see any of them give any evidence apart from an article published on the BBC Nottingham website which relied on data which is apparently a biased source of something.

Which isn't particularly compelling enough to call the whole BBC a transphobic organisation. But I'll admit it's not exactly my specialist field

What I do know is the Beeb always gets shit from the right for being 'too loony left/woke' and shit from the left for being 'too establishment/not representative of anyone apart from wealthy white men'. It's meant to be unbiased so of course everyone accuses it of bias whenever they can. I think they just try and rise above it
