So, years of people screaming about ‘cancel culture’ cumilnates in the BBC forcing someone to resign because they said you shouldn’t be a dick to trans people.

Btw, the Equality Act public sector equality duty requires the BBC to promote equality. No space for Robin Ince saying ‘trans people are human’ off air, but space for Justin Webb to be openly transphobic on air.

Can’t wait for the Free Speech Union to weigh in on this….any second now….surely….

“… numerous other outlandish opinions, including once gently criticising Stephen Fry”

That would be what did it.

One day we will look back on this time, like we look back on the Section 28 days

It’s no real surprise that one of the few vocal trans supporters at the BBC feels the need to leave,[ this has been going on for years.](https://www.vice.com/en/article/lgbtq-employees-are-quitting-the-bbc-because-they-say-its-transphobic/)

And yet people like Sharron Davies still have positions at the BBC. And people will continue to claim that the BBC has a pro-trans bias.

Probably doesn’t help that Brian Cox wife is on the Sex Matters advisory board.

Deep respect for him. Met him at a signing for his recent book about neurodiversity at my local library and he was a really lovely man.
