'First Day', the drama about a transgender 12yo, shouldn’t be on the BBC children’s channel. It’s harmful, shameless propaganda

I read that the BBC had around 400 transgender employees and that it requires pronoun badges.

This was from a respectable source that I will try to find and post, but if anyone works at the BBC or knows someone who does, can you confirm?

I wouldn't be entirely surprised:

It employs over 22,000 staff in total, more than 16,000 of whom are in public sector broadcasting. The total number of staff is 35,402 when part-time, flexible, and fixed-contract staff are included.

It's a shame the remaining 21,600 people have to genuflect to the vast minority. Do they have badges explaining what hand they write with as well?

Many people hate to be forced to do something completely ridiculous, like enforced pronoun usage, so I'll bet that there are a lot of BBC employees who are starting to turn against gender ideology in their own minds.

That's why it is just so important that JK Rowling spoke out and gave other people the cover to do so as well.

Yeah, the press reports a couple of years ago said the BBC had surveyed its staff & found that two percent ID as trans. And the proportion of staff who "identify as" members of the broader "LGBTQ+" overall was even higher - six times the rate in the rest of the UK population
