Arguably made it worse on the “biological” part.
Before it was at least recognising her as a trans woman.
Now the “biological male” part comes before “identifies as a woman” (that wasn’t there before) to give it more prominence as well as make it sound like being trans is all make believe.

“Ms Brooks, who was 18 at the time, is a trans woman who was born a biological male.”
Aside from the gross last part of this BBC News sentence, wasn’t she 17 at the time?

It’s against their current BBC News style guide to write a slur towards trans women like this.
Note they don’t use “cisgender” because it can cause offence, so they certainly shouldn’t be using “trans identified male”.

I’m sorry that happened. It’s completely unacceptable and also just weird from her, as we’re in the UK and we don’t even really use “sir” and “madam” in most customer service settings. So needless.

Both her and Rebecca Paul (the two GCs in the room) have asked softball questions that have given her the opportunity to big herself up.
That is telling in itself.

Yep, a BBC Sport presenter not allowed an opinion on “contentious” issues, but an actual BBC News presenter is allowed to “correct” the autocue by inserting her OWN opinion live on the BBC over an issue the BBC also deem contentious.
The hypocrisy will always be off the chart there.

Nice of the BBC to not only keep paying her at Wimbledon but also giving her an opportunity last week to spread her anti-trans sentiment in those supposedly serious long form interviews they do for TV.

Yeah, the LTA is infected with GCs. They were banning a trans woman coach from using the women’s changing rooms and toilets at their facilities long before the Supreme Court ruling.
They cited it was their policy and emailed her name out to other employees to help police it.

I will never get over just how unimpressive Baroness Falkner is whenever she is called in front of the Women and Equalities Committee.
She's utterly shambolic every time.

The journalist who wrote this is also name checked in the song itself, so writing an article about the song is a subtle humble brag 😄
Oh thanks fuck
"The song was written in response to last month’s supreme court ruling that the legal definition of “woman” ought to be based on biological sex (a judgement that doctors at the British Medical Association have called “scientifically illiterate”)."

Labour's new policy - of humiliating trans people by requiring them constantly to self-identify - we believe puts the UK (again) in breach of its obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights and will seek a declaration of incompatability. goodlaw.social/0r6l

I don't know much about their PM, but the story I've seen suggests it is their deputy PM from a coalition who has proposed a bill to define gender by biological sex. His party is New Zealand First.
Apparently it is unlikely to pass as it has to be selected at random and then get majority support.

All of this past week has been a bit too perfect in timing for Labour, allowing cover/reason to align with Trump and co to get some kind of weak trade deal.

I assume it has been pointed out that BBC News deleted the mention of the removal of restrictions on “immigration, gender and gender identity” from their online article about Meta updating their guidelines.
