What makes you think the BBC are 'trying to get out from all this'? Serious question. Far as I can tell the BBC has not walked back on anything. Happy to shown to be very wrong though.

They removed all transgender links from their site, and stopped supporting Mermaids, changed some descriptions on their site that is including gender dysphoria now, instead of "anyone who think they are of opossite sex". They did all of that silently, without saying at loud. So at least partially BBC are not ok with all this TRA propaganda.

Ah, yes. Now that you mention that. I was aware they had done this. Completely forgotten this was the case. Thank you.

The main things I know about were the newsnight investigations into the Tavistock and, importantly, they recently removed Mermaids from their LGBT helpline page and refused to say why under the FoI act (which may mean that they know something we don't know or have proof of yet.)

However they are still posting a lot of pro-trans stuff, including othering 'noble savage' type articles about gender so there seems to be a schism between different segments, which makes sense considering how huge the BBC is.

The BBC does have a 'reality check' department who seem to sometimes do the right thing and correct the record. They did this recently for the BLM claims in the UK about police violence. Turns out the claims are bunk.

I would not be surprised at all if there were to be warring factions within the BBC. As you say, given its size. Not going to be that surprising. The old vs the new guard I am sure happens a lot.
