The BBC has just published its annual 100 Women List. And, just as we’ve come to expect, it includes a trans-identified male. In 2013 the BBC pledged to better represent women in its international news output. To this end, it launched its 100 Women List.
Oh no they’re at it again! F-ing hell. And just in time for the weekend. We’ve had a tough week, the WoW, the nhs, Sandi and now the BBC. I need a drink! again.
I was just thinking re all the highly sexualised pictures of men in dresses. I don’t have a single female friend or family member or even female acquaintance that takes pictures of herself in this way and posts them online. Not a single one!- to my knowledge at least, and i’m not judging any woman that does for a moment, i’m just saying it doesn’t strike me as a ‘common’ thing. But with trans identifying men, it seems to be fairly high on their agenda of ways to communicate to the world that they are ‘real’ women! Honestly do they think that female human beings spend their whole time preparing themselves in this way. Maybe they do? Have i only known the boring ones all this time!? I’m beginning to think i’ve not been to any good parties ever. Poor me!
It's a fetish. And the rest of us are expected to celebrate it - our own erasure. The ultimate in entitlement. Imagine how powerful it would be if the rest if the women who were included simply declined the 'honour'. That's what needs to happen. Honestly, women need to completely abandon this patriarchal culture.
Just read it. What a powerful article and 100% TRUE. It says exactly what we all feel. This is the cruellest ,least compassionate movement most of us have ever encountered. Well done to the author. Many thanks for sharing x
Complain to the BBC please. Stand up, shout loud and refuse to accept this misogynistic shit. Men are not and can never be included in any list of women.
Are you suggesting ‘auntie’ has actually been ‘uncle’ all these years and like that peter kay thing- uncle nobhead. Turns out everyone does have an uncle nobhead Ms Terfin- hidden inside the box! Staring at us everyday! filling our heads with regressive shit!
Perhaps auntie is trying to gaslight us because she’s always been a TW and she wants to come out as her true self. In which case all those pronouns should be he/him 🤪
If like to know who is responsible for making this decision (named person/s and who is influencing them. Any info on that available at all? They need names and shamed.
The groupthink made the call. I doubt you will find any dissenters. TBH I am surprised it’s not just mainly a list of trans women with the odd actual adult human female thrown in, purely to tick the EDI box obviously.
Screaming here. Just screaming. The plug needs to pulled on the licence fee/tax/mandatory contribution to a political organisation. I cancelled mine two years ago. I refuse to fund the BBCs antics any longer.
I repeat my comment from yesterday, welcome to the fun fair where the main attraction is the bearded lady. They are stupid and puerile and dangerous. I hate them and they deserve no mercy when the mob with pitchforks comes for them.
Here's an idea: why not do one list for fantastic women, maybe one list for fantastic men and then also a list for fantastic people-in-general? That way you don't have to restrict the opportunities for women for the benefit of folk who are, in the nicest possible way, not women - however genuinely commendable their efforts in this world might be.
In return for this superb idea, rather than direct remuneration I'm willing to take a discount in my licence fee. Maybe to £0? Forever? Happy to discuss.

I don’t think you would enjoy any of their “parties”.
Come on Susan, we’ll try one, and if we don’t like it we’ll leave early and get a curry.
Sounds like a plan.
Please read this recent article: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/commentary/cruelty-cloaked-in-compassion/. I am embracing the word "cruel" more frequently to describe #fakewomen. Also "preposterous". !

These fake women make me sick !🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Seems inevitable that whoever made that list has got balls (literally, not figuratively).
Complain to the BBC please. Stand up, shout loud and refuse to accept this misogynistic shit. Men are not and can never be included in any list of women.
Just stop paying.
I have complained.
What is called inclusion these days usually results in exclusion as well.
"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" has new meaning
I’m beginning to think that ‘auntie BBC’ has an ulterior motive for saying that men are women.
Are you suggesting ‘auntie’ has actually been ‘uncle’ all these years and like that peter kay thing- uncle nobhead. Turns out everyone does have an uncle nobhead Ms Terfin- hidden inside the box! Staring at us everyday! filling our heads with regressive shit!

Gender is sending me round the bend!
And here we have the beeb trying to normalise the furry fetish! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12787849/amp/Outrage-BBC-Doctors-explores-Furry-culture.html
Travesty upon travesty. My heart goes out to all the ACTUAL women whose place on this list was stolen.
The BBC still doesn’t know what a woman is. Quelle surprise.
If like to know who is responsible for making this decision (named person/s and who is influencing them. Any info on that available at all? They need names and shamed.

We need a Terf of the year list 😀
Oh yes we do!!!
I repeat my comment from yesterday, welcome to the fun fair where the main attraction is the bearded lady. They are stupid and puerile and dangerous. I hate them and they deserve no mercy when the mob with pitchforks comes for them.
Yes! These are disgusting as hell! Particularly the bearded one. 🤮🤮😻
BBC had slight wobble with Man’s sorry Woman’s Hour but they are now back on track again.
Could have taken this man off and put on Emma Barnett 😎
Also I was looking for the gender critical women on the list. Must have missed them eh? Silly me 😂
Dusty
Maybe we could ask EDI Jester to do a 100 Larping Men list 😎
😆 great idea.
Great point aside from the trans issue I dont see Kellie Jay or Alison Bailey or JKR on the list which makes a nonsense of the whole thing.
Precisely, and , since it is an international list we could add Vaishnavi Sundar, Moira Deeming, Kara Dansky....
What’s the first thing I think when I read reports like this? Frauds. They’re all frauds.
Liars down to their twinkly toes!
Dear BBC.
I hope you are well.
Re. your 100 Women list.

Looking forward to the BBC documentary "NOT is a woman"
When will they learn to stop gas lighting us?
