When this #BBC article was first published, it accurately described Dr Beth Upton - the woman found to be harassed by Peggie - as a trans woman
The piece was then scrubbed - replacing an accurate description with a transphobic slur instead of the language trans women use to describe themselves

Not sure what is going on here, but the BBC just called Dr Upton a "trans woman" not that biological slur, grab a screenshot before the TERFs demand it is edited back!

If you don't know any trans people you may be completely unaware of how the rising tide of transphobia has led to the BBC actually editing pieces, not to update the story but to insert slurs to make a story more transphobic
There are more cis people aware of the BBCs transphobia today thanks to @robinince.bsky.social

Days ago, all the Scottish papers hailed a massive victory for Peggie when it was partial. Today they're pretending she lost and must appeal. When the Supreme Court decision was questioned, it was a threat to the judiciary. Now it's apparently a moral obligation. Same voices, same loud megaphones.
