Nutmeg's week

The BBC continues to force-feed gender ideology to the UK

This week the BBC probably broadcast more pro-transgender propaganda than it ever has before.

Repair slop

The Repair Shop is a primetime BBC One television show that’s been running since 2017, in which ‘members of the public’ present family heirlooms in the hope that they will be repaired.

Last week’s episode kicked off with a man bringing in a skirt in need of restoration. After a few seconds of chat, he revealed that it belonged to his brother, and we were subjected to a sob story about his brother’s ‘transition’, his ‘gender fluidity’ and how “she was my inspiration”.

This was not the first time a segment of the show was about a cross-dressing man. Here, we meet a man who pretends to be a woman called ‘Jacquie’ and we meet his wife who is called … Jackie.

And before that, there was the woman who had her teddy bear repaired so she could use it as emotional support for future transgender ‘surgeries’.

It’s feigning men

As if a directive had been issued, ‘trans men’ (women who believe they are men) were also pushed hard all week by the corporation. In an episode of Bargain Hunt, the daughter of one of the contestants is introduced as her ‘son’.

The following day, BBC News reported on a woman who bought a 100-year-old camera and found that it had film in it. The two developed pictures are of unknown people. It’s not a terribly interesting story but she was the subject of a BBC News story, BBC video and was then a guest on BBC Breakfast over the weekend. We realise why when she’s introduced as ‘Oliver’.

BBC News also spoke to six women about the life-saving importance of cervical screening. Five of them get a few words each but the sixth, Jack, gets an entire section of the article to herself. Simply because she says she’s a man. And this is at least the fourth time this decade that BBC News has written about cervical screening for women who pretend they are men.

The man on the street

Despite being a tiny proportion of the population, BBC News keeps bumping into people who pretend they’re the opposite sex. Here, in a feature about immigration, the lead-in to an interview with the home secretary is via a cross-dressing man with what appears to be roadkill on his head, who BBC News at Six supposedly randomly met on a street in Basildon.

He wasn’t the only cross-dresser that BBC cameras randomly bumped into this week. In Tuesday’s episode of Escape to the Country, ‘Marcia’ discusses what life in Dorchester is like (for men who wear women’s clothing). Notice how much his female partner Helen gets to speak.

Waterloo upset

BBC One school drama Waterloo Road also featured a cross-dressing man in one of the worst examples of trans propaganda ever broadcast.

Here, a ‘schoolgirl’, who’s played by a man who, according to Wikipedia was born in either 1999 or 2000 (this episode was broadcast for the first time in 2025), is ‘deadnamed’ by his grandmother, who’s dying of dementia.

In what’s probably a fairly accurate portrayal of what happens next, the man considers never visiting her again. Except, instead of being portrayed as callous or evil, we’re meant to believe he’s the real victim. After his grandmother died, he immediately expresses concern that she might not have really believed he’s a girl, only to be reassured that she did.

He then delivers a speech to his assembly about her - in which her life is celebrated solely because she affirmed his gender identity.

BBC News also prominently featured a story this week about a man in Saudi Arabia who took his own life in 2023, to highlight the abuse 'transgender Saudis' face. A documentary has also been made.

The article states that this is part of a series on … inspirational women around the world.

BBC Reporting Scotland also got in on the act - this week from a furry convention, implying it is entirely good wholesome fun. There is no mention that it is actually a sexual fetish or that guests had to agree to not exhibit artworks depicting paedophilia or bestiality during convention sessions.

Upton boy

Sandie Peggie vs NHS Fife and Dr ‘Beth’ Upton (a man) continues.

Upton was cross-examined by Sandie’s barrister, Naomi Cunningham, and not only insisted he was not male—“as has been established”—but also argued that the female body “has no definition,” stating, “I’m female and I have a body, so [I am] biologically female.” This is the same argument Veronica Ivy used on The Daily Show (which led to worldwide ridicule).

Upton drew on his years of medical training to suggest that a baby’s sex is ‘assigned’ based on a “best guess” by a doctor and that “there is no agreed definition of biological sex – it’s a nebulous dog whistle”.

Banning him from women’s single-sex facilities would be the same, he argued, as barring “a cis [sic] woman who’s had a hysterectomy”.

Even here, BBC activists have been getting in on the act. In fact, the media coverage of this case has been a significant story in itself, as Cath Leng has outlined. The BBC changed one headline which initially quoted Dr Upton saying “I’m not male”, to the far more reasonable-sounding “I’m only asking for basic respect”. (This wasn’t the only headline that the BBC changed this week - an article about an LGBT activist accused of child rape initially stated he allegedly ‘had sex with’ a 12-year-old boy.)

The BBC has also been accused of blurring and darkening photos of Dr Upton in order to make him look less male.

On the same day that an NHS doctor said he is biologically female, Labour appointed a new health minister who has previously said that men who identify as women are “not male”.

We also discovered this week that, while it does not offer an egg-freezing service to women with endometriosis who want to get pregnant as it is too expensive, the NHS does offer the same service for free to women who pretend they are men but might still want to get pregnant.

Let troons speak

Kellie-Jay Keen’s Let Women Speak event in Nottingham was disrupted by angry, abusive men.

Despite prior warning of the event and security risks to the women, Nottingham police refused to protect them, so Kellie-Jay led them to the police station to take refuge.

Nottingham East MP, Nadia Whittome (Labour), joined the ‘counter protest’ designed to prevent the ‘hate mob’ of women from speaking. One of the signs held in front of Whittome’s face referred to Kellie-Jay as a ‘Nazi Fucker.’

Here comes McBride

And finally, this is how Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill. introduced Rep. Sarah McBride, D-Del. — a man who says he’s a woman — to the United States House of Representatives.

See you all next week!
