Well it looks like they learned nothing from when they enabled Jimmy Savile

My thoughts exactly

Absolutely demonstrating a full on gender ideology capture. It’s not only dangerous but it’s lies and pseudoscience mixed with emotive garbage. Any young questioning person watching such rubbish May fixate on medical intervention being the only route to manage their dysphoria. It’s way over time to actually apply proper therapeutic sessions to understand the boom in gender dysphoria rather than pander to kids who are struggling.

Incidentally the way Charlie Craggs posts it’s clearly from the male POV. Speech patterns never change. Aggression never changes. Entitlement never changes. Someone perhaps should have got to the root of their dysphoria too.

Already put my complaint in. I fear the BBC are beyond help. They used to make some great material but now it's like the Owen Jones of the TV world.

This is currently being advertised on the BBC front page with the headline “Is there enough support for gender non-conforming young people”, with the obviously implication that if you are gender non-conforming you must be “trans”. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/article/38ba4d64-2c49-46e7-8fe1-e839817dd100

I hadn’t heard of Craggs before so I looked him up, and found this interview he did with the Honestly podcast (transcript here: https://honestlypodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/An-honest-conversation-about-Gender-with-Charlie-Craggs-1.pdf)

Just going to quote a few bits and ask whether any of this rings a bell in other stories we’ve heard.

“I just said, I wish I was a girl because I did … all my friends were girls, they got to dress up like girls and play [with girls’] toys. I think kids can just be whatever they want when they're young. But it was more so when I went to school … You get told to use this bathroom, and told to wear this uniform, and told not to play with these toys. And seeing all the other boys [laugh at you saying]: ‘why'd you play with the girls?’. So that's when you start having gender expectations thrust upon you. So that's I guess when I was becoming uncomfortable with those because I was like: ‘this is not me. I want to play with the girls and I wanna play with the dolls, and I want to wear a skirt, I don't wanna wear trousers and play football with the boys.’”

“[Craggs’s mum] just assumed: ‘oh Charlie’s, just a little gay boy’. So she let me be feminine and I've been totally finally being gay, which I think is really lovely as well, because she's Catholic - Irish Catholic. I felt very lucky.”

“I was being bullied. Being called a girl from the age of like seven onwards ‘batty boy, chu chu man, gay. All these words, being beaten up. I didn’t need it to become harder, so it got to the point where I just became so suicidal, which kind of coincided with trans stuff being talked about more. So I was like, ‘I know this is me and I need to do this otherwise I’ll kill myself.’”

I’ve never written a letter of complaint before but felt compelled to do this today as I was horrified after watching this documentary yesterday. I am also considering cancelling my tv licence direct debit which I have happily paid for 25 years. I despair of the BBC and media in general.

BBC needs defunding.

If it's so sure of its own excellence, then it should play with the big kids and go it alone.

Please send this story to the BBC... repeatedly. Til it burns all trace of this programme in the bin fire its made with its lack of integrity and grip on facts and reality. 😠😢

The BBC is playing a very dangerous game, not only with the lives of vulnerable children, but with their own future. The people who support them are the very people they are attacking and not privileged, blue haired 'Marxists' from universities. If they haven't cottoned on that the Tories will use this against them then they are idiots.

The BBC is wholly at the mercy of the TRAs who are now in complete charge of all content.

It has lost control to the woke Marxists and needs to be told the public are no longer paying for this shite.

Since people on here love to throw around the term Marxist, it might help to remember that Marx believed in MATERIAL REALITY in a society which said it was God's will that poor and working people should be oppressed. See, e.g., Redline, a Marxist and GC website in New Zealand.

The BBC is just a propaganda machine now, & though I think the letters are great I'm not sure complaining is going to have any effect.

This is why BBC Three (which was upon a time a comedic joy) was shifted wholesale online to focus on yoof "documentaries".

I hate to go all neoconservative on your asses but perhaps corrupting kids away from prying adult eyes was the plan all along?

Think about it.

The BBC became a threat to the old social order, so it is being destroyed from within.

I've just come across a rather general but timely programme on mass psychosis on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09maaUaRT4M&ab_channel=AfterSkool I really recommend it

Interesting, but it seems to ignore human physiology. There are many things that can trigger psychosis in individuals, among them hypothyroidism and certain B vitamin deficiencies. This is one of the problems I have with psychology, the attitude that we are bags of bones carrying around the important organ, the brain. I read social psychology for my final year of high school and I think sometimes about rereading The Sane Society by Fromm. It seems to me that mass psychosis is simply the norm in the U.S.: belief in The Rapture (insane!) is widespread, belief that the U.S. is a benign country (insane!), belief that the flag is something other than a piece of cloth (insane!,) and transgenderism fits in perfectly. Its adherents can look down upon believers in The Rapture and feel themselves infinitely superior to the plebes who know that there are two sexes.
