8. But these new stories apparently indicate the opposite—that, like many institutions, the BBC is arguably backing down from ethical and scientifically rigorous coverage in order to cater to the anti-trans agenda. Instead, it has reverted back to pejorative terms to refer to transgender people.

1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman.
This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces.

In 2001 LSE economist Leslie Sklair published a book called The Transnational Capitalist Class, which is worth revisiting in light of all of this.
"If the power elite remains poorly understood, it may be because it is not just a financial elite or an educated elite, a noblesse-oblige elite, a political elite or a narrative-making elite. It straddles all of these, lucratively, persuaded of its own good intentions."

The UK again shows they've lost touch with decency and humanity when it comes to trans women as a judge declared Graham Linehan not guilty of harrassment after he harrassed a trans minor and broke her phone.
Apparently the victim didn't seem distressed enough.
