Thank you for collating all this Graham. I put in almost weekly complaints to the BBC. Despite the great work done by Deborah Cohen and Hannah Barnes for Newsnight, it will never negate the gaslighting, propagandising and outright lies elsewhere on the BBC, particularly output directed at children. It is unforgivable. More here from Transgendertrend:https://www.transgendertrend.com/category/media-tv-radio/
That CBBC video is mind-blowing. Only the other day we read here about a woman whose son was put on puberty blockers at the age of 9, is now in his early 20's, has the bone density of a 75 year-old and has to use a walking frame.
This site is an invaluable archive; as the inquiry unfolds there will be a lot of people (BBC included) who'll be wishing it would disappear.
I have done a quick Google to see what has happened to Leo from I Am Leo.... There is no update whatever.
And of course, he is entitled to stay put of the limelight to whatever extent he choses, but he was such a public face of the beginning of a movement, I would like to know where he us now and how he us?
"With the Corporation having ended its relationship with Stonewall and BBC Pride now under new management, it might be imagined that the broadcaster is charting a new course. Yet, all the signs are that Stonewall’s outlook is embedded at the BBC, even though the formal link is severed. Those at the top are too complacent to see the next danger approaching".
"Tim Davie has been clear with staff that the Corporation’s impartiality takes precedence over its relationship with external organisations. Why then, has he now invited a similar organisation to Stonewall, INvolve, into Broadcasting House to provide diversity advice?
INvolve’s CEO, Suki Sandhu, says he is “proud to be a Stonewall Ambassador”, a role described by Stonewall as “a group of our closest supporters, giving £1,800 a year or more”.
Sandhu set up INvolve in 2013 to help firms “drive cultural change and create inclusive workplaces where any individual can succeed”. Like Stonewall, INvolve runs a workplace accreditation scheme, called OUTstanding.
Clues as to what is in that scheme can be found on the organisation’s website, and particularly, a blog post which recounts a panel session held in Dublin for members in early 2019. During the event, the panel suggested that staff in organisations who are signed up to OUTstanding should wear rainbow lanyards, ask for “gender inclusive” signage in toilets (so both sexes can use either facility), and even get involved in politics"

It will be very revealing as to if/when Auntie reports about government enquiry into sex hormones for children on Newsbeat.

Thanks, Graham. You too, JL:

Article in this month's The Critic magazine: https://thecritic.co.uk/issues/april-2022/more-of-the-same-news-from-the-bbc/. Very enlightening - written by an anonymous insider.

Same old, same old...
Every institution who pushed that lie about puberty blockers should be held to account.
Keep up the good work you do, Graham, and you and others who've had their livelihoods damaged for speaking out will be vindicated
Cheers for this - sharing on twitter now
