BBC boss Tim Davie faced calls to resign amid a newsroom revolt after a newsreader who corrected 'pregnant people' to 'women' while live on air was rebuked.

Senior BBC journalists are said to be furious over the censuring of Martine Croxall amid claims that the Corporation has been 'captured by trans ideologists'.

....................................................

Ms Croxall, 56, was introducing a segment on Britain's heatwave in June when the autocue instructed her to report that 'pregnant people' should take precautions. After briefly reading the line, she corrected it with a raise of the eyebrow.

Surprised BBC staff are backing Ms. Croxall and not kowtowing to the Trannies.

The left has split on the Pervert issue.

All of them are in favor of it.

The split is tactical....

Half want to cram it down everyone’s throats immediately.

Half want to keep quiet about it to help them increase their power—then they figure they can more effectively cram in down everyone’s throats.

There is a real split in the the homosexual community, particularly among the radical lesbians. For some reason, they don’t want to pick up someone at a bar, take the person home, and realize they’ve gotten in bed with a man.

Excellent point.

I would also point out a philosophical angle. For many decades, homosexuals have been saying that they are not “sick” in any way. God made them homosexual. Don't call the doctor! They are fine! No medical intervention is going to make a homosexual man love a woman. Just back off and let him be a homosexual.

Then along come the transsexuals — They are sick, you see. They have a medical condition. God screwed up and put a woman in a man's body. But they know how we can fix God's mistake. Just call a doctor. The problem can be fixed. Some medical intervention, turning the man into a woman and then a proper balance can be restored to their lives. Just spend some public health care money and fix the transsexual.

These two viewpoints do not coexist well at all.

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, the BBC was actually respectable. But, remember the rule that everything touched by the left turns to Obamastuff.

Here’s hoping even more people refuse to pay their boob tube taxes.

It’s way past time the UK has a t(v) party of their own.

The libs really think the Muslims that have conquered their nation are going to play the game of the trannies? They will be throwing them off Big Ben soon enough.
