With all the news about the BBC censoring a “Protect the Dolls” t-shirt, it’s sad to see how this transphobic trend goes back years. The BBC is literally participating in trans erasure.

They cut drag race, a gay dating show, and spent the time/money to censor a shirt that said "protect the dolls" on a dancing show. All within the last couple of months. Definitely starting to see a pattern with them.

The Brexiteer Tory Remnant government filled the top ranks with loyalists a few years back. They didn’t like it being non-partison, so they said it was biased so they could make political appointments.

The authoritarianism pattern is sweeping the world right now.
