They are trying to get out from all of this nowadays. Sadly they are not removing old videos where they were supporting all of that and sometimes still posting bad articles.

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.

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.
