I am remembering a BBC correspondent who quit the BBC after transphobes changed his copy after he filed it, and without his permission.
The BBC, quite consciously, sets out to demean and belittle trans people. This is both morally contemptible and in breach of its Charter obligations. We've made it super easy for you to write to the BBC and tell it to stop.

Because every day waiting, in this world obsessed with harassing trans people, is a battle that many don't survive.
