Fads come and go, there's always been something going on that people want to hang onto the coat tails of until it gets forgotten about for the latest 'new' thing to get involved with.

The trouble is that nowadays there's an electronic/digital trail that leads back to all those bandwagons you now wish you'd never bothered to jump on.

If it was a "Fad" perhaps hunderds of childeren would not have been mutilated, young girls having their breasts removed boys their bells etc etc.

It was pure child abuse.

Actually, it's all the people that once wrote something on Twatter, Farcebook etc trying to be with the 'in crowd' that then try to retract it when the wind blows in a different direction.

@ pip08456 - people who think that's a good thing to do to kids want shooting.

Seriously, it’s well worth reading a take-down written by a world-renowned author. It’s coldly beautiful: https://x.com/jk_rowling/status/1972600904185483427

I read that earlier and wondered if comments would appear here.

This line probably sums up my previous post about 'fads' coming and going.

She certainly put her in her place, as nicely as she probably could.

Re: The gender ideology thread
 

I'm pleased at the outcome for those (including myself) who made a formal complaint about this. Croxall had no right to alter her script and make a facial expression to put her own views across.

Whist she is entitled to her own opinion, she should not be making it known on the BBC as it's irrelevant.

Re: The gender ideology thread
 

yeah the BBC has no credibility on anything full stop. Only women can give birth and the latest court ruling on that bares it out. The BBC could be breaking the law if they push this too far due to the court ruling

Re: The gender ideology thread
 

I’m pleased that you helped expose the lack of credibility in the BBC’s internal complaints process.

Croxall was ambushed on-air with a script that used the ludicrous phrase ‘pregnant people’. Self-evidently, only women can become pregnant. This is not a personal opinion, it is science. She quite correctly substituted the scientifically correct term. The term ‘pregnant people’ is so bone-jarringly, brain-achingly stupid, her very brief eye-roll was really rather restrained. Certainly not worth the time and money of an internal investigation. Definitely not worth your time to report, though complaining about people does seem to be a hobby of yours.

Given that her conviction for facecrime comes less than 24 hours after a damning internal memo was leaked, laying bare the extent to which the BBC has developed a nasty habit of censoring coverage of issues like transgenderism and Palestine unless they conform to activist-approved lines, one has to wonder whether the BBC has gone looking for a squirrel to misdirect critical attention from its failings.

With the blatant editing of the Trump video over the capital building BBC news is now no longer fit for purpose full stop and should not be taken seriously by anyone

Re: The gender ideology thread
 

Typical.

Re: The gender ideology thread
 

Well, seeing as we’re complaining, why not complain about the complaint. It might not change this particular decision but it might just make them pause and realise there is an administrative cost to this sort of politicking.

The web page with the judgment is here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/ecu/ne...l-21-june-2025

And you can complain about it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/commen...Your%20comment

If you’re so motivated, you could suggest that the BBC has no remit to write contentious social theory into its newsroom scripts, that Croxall was quite correct to make an instant correction to use scientifically correct terminology, and that given what we all know about the BBC’s internal struggles with trans activism, the momentary eye-roll was really very restrained.

Whether or not anyone here complains, I bet the decision gets way more complaints than Croxall did. FYI the original issue was raised off the back of 20 complaints. That’s all. That’s basically our Richard plus a dozen or more members of the BBC’s own internal ‘Pride’ staff network. Hardly anyone at all outside of the BBC had any problem with this.

You complained that someone stated a fact ? :dozey:
