Biggest news story on British reddit

>BBC presenter Martine Croxall made an on-air correction during a live news broadcast, altering the term "pregnant people" to "women".

>While delivering a segment on heat-related health risks, the BBC star briefly paused before amending the script mid-sentence, stating: "London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine has released research which says that nearly 600 heat-related deaths are expected in the UK.

>"Malcom Mistry, who was involved in the research, says that the aged, pregnant people... women... and those with pre-existing health conditions need to take precautions."

guess they'll say we trannys care and are hysterical about it

>Author JK Rowling expressed her admiration for the presenter, posting: "I have a new favourite BBC presenter."

>The campaign group Seen in Journalism described it as "good to see accuracy on BBC News," while gender-critical commentator James Esses praised the presenter's bravery as they said: "The BBC is so utterly enthralled to gender ideology that it took a brave newsreader to correct the teleprompter instruction to say 'pregnant people' by instead saying 'women' afterwards. Let's hope she isn't cancelled for her rebellion."

>Having been part of BBC News since 2001, Martine has made waves before with her approach to gender-related reporting, reports the Express.

>Notably, in April she engaged in a spirited exchange with trans activist Heather Herbert on the Supreme Court's verdict that 'woman' pertains strictly to biological sex.

>In that intense segment, Heather expressed feeling besieged, stating: "I feel like I'm under attack."

>To which Martine countered with a pointed question: "How is it an attack? It's a clarification of what the word woman means."

>She elaborated firmly: "The ruling is that woman means biological sex."

They really blew this thing out of proportion preemptively, huh.
They're really that desperate to dunk on the Theyfabs and the Transmen.

The BBC has been compromised by TRA radical extremists that wants to erase women out of existence, clearly

Britain truly is the stupidest place

>>40148212
Is it not? You might use the smokescreen of TIFs but it's clear that it's really a continued devaluation of the female sex. You know you can't match up, so you want to bring natal females down

...Are they mad that women are considered people?

>>40148604
Females are inferior and lesser to males, they need special legal privileges on the basis of biological sex because their own biology opresses them, and need special segregation from males as a result.
This is actually the thinking process behind feminists and britoids btw, so yess there angry at being called people.

Its the existence of ftms, brits don't think trans people even exist, so refuse to acknowledge them

Its for holes to be able to feel accomplished about "fighting le gender wave" before they get raped into having their seventh brown child

>>40148382
That's right, us transitioning is an elaborate plot to devalue the female sex.
You guys sound like conservatives arguing homosexuality brought down the Roman empire and will bring down the west.

It was christianity that brought down the roman empire desu. The pantheon's last laugh was turning the romans into italians.

>>40148757
lol did you learn this in critical feminist theory class or something
get real
religious ideology never brought down anything
soldiers did
religion is merely the opiate of the masses, a tool to be discarded by the ruling classes as they see fit, that can be used justify almost anything in lieu of any other easily available argumentation

>>40148112 (OP)
How heroic she is for signaling how much she hates the punching bag everyone is allowed to hate. Certainly that'll fix Britain's social and economic issues, won't it?

>>40148780
That's not true, religion was deeply believed in by Roman aristocracy, it wasn't lip service, auguries held a very important role in society. Its why Romulus was chosen as the founder of Rome, and not Remus, because the birds flocked to him in 800BC.

Constantine defected to christianty because no other religion would forgive him for murdering his wife and child, but Christianity did accept him, it said anyone for any reason can be forgiven for sin, as long as they repented to Christ. He then painted his shield with the cross at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312AD. Constantines victory was seen as an endorsement of the holy power of christ and so the Roman Empire became the Holy Roman Empire, arguably the most important turning point in human history as it lead to the papal supremacy of the church during the early, and middle ages of Europe.

The thing that bothers me about this is this is just a mean-spirited attack on trans mens' identities. It helps no one to do this.

>>40148927
I've never seen a trans man that cared about this one way or the other

>>40148927
they think the phrase "pregnant people" is meant to "defer to trans women" or some bullshit. they don't even know trans men exist

That doesn't contradict what I said

>>40148941
This is the unique quality British people have, to be so rabibly obsessed, to be so consumed and inearthed on a subject they know so little about.

The number one topic on the mind of the British establishment is trans people, it forma the basis of all their actions. The US bombed Iran and the most urgent press release Downing Street issued was on toilets.

>>40148936
transgender women don't care about it either. in fact, who the fuck asked for this in the first place? It has to be trans men. who else would?

>>40148951
Yes it does, you said religion is lip service, I argued it is genuinely believed in.

The nuanced and correct argument is that religion is deeply believed in by the ruling class, but they are not above using religion for socioeconomic control. But to dismiss religion as solely a tool for control in a cold sterile manner, and that those wielding power are not also governed by religious beliefs, is objectively and demonstrably false

No one in the trans community asked for this, it's part of the divide and rule strategy the establishment.

Its why the UK flys progress flags, whilst simultaneously denying healthcare and entrenching legal discrimination against trans people

something i never tire of pointing out: the same government that, a mere 70 years ago, FORCED alan turing to take diethylstilbestrol (a synthetic estrogen compound) to chemically castrate him for being a gay sodomite and danger to children, now has the unmitigated fucking audacity to apologize for what they did to alan turing in the same breath that they say "hrt is homophobic conversion therapy." like, "we'll make forced feminization a codified legal punishment for a generation, then we'll do a complete 180° and call it homophobic conversion therapy! that'll really screw with the queers." fuck the anglos so fucking hard. nietzsche was totally right about them

1. It makes no ones life difficult, try being evicted because your land lord can legally double the rent, try accessing healthcare quickly, try calling the police after you are robbed.

2. The establishment does this as divide and rule, set up a false enemy, defeat said enemy, claim to be doing something positive for the people whilst actually oppressing them

The worst part is taking to brits irl, they're eyes go wide and they look wild, when you mention trans issues to them

I spoke to an employment officer before, causally mentioned I was trans, and he went insane. He went insane. Lost his mind. I had to report him.

My support worker refused to see me again after she found out I was trans, I suspect someone told her since we got along perfectly fine for months. Then she went on a rant about trans kids in schools and how she'd never accept her own kids being trans.

Anyone who says "the average brit is supportive!!" is either lying or extremely sheltered, in practice the public have been conditioned to have an extreme response, they literally cannot control themselves, they become frenzied

To add further, if you say down the average brit in a room, gave them a list of issues affecting the country, housing, crime, education, healthcare, trans issues come down quite low.

But in reality, their reaction to us isn't rational, its emotional, brits will watch someone getting robbed, getting stabbed and film on their phones and laugh, or walk by quickly.

But if a trans person is in their vicinity, they become rabid, especially if they've been drinking. It's legitimately dangerous to be in the average British pub on a Friday night, it's dangerous for cis people, let alone trans. That's where the real issue is, that brits KNOW there are more serious issues, but their rage is solely reserved for trans people, because they are bullies

Who do you think is behind ita?

I can day the same thing about misgendering you

>>40149980
No because that's harassment. You are deliberately making someone feel attacked.

Would you think its appropriate to call a colleague fat, or ugly?

>>40149996
>No because that's harassment. You are deliberately making someone feel attacked.
That's how women feel regarding pregnant people. Are you denying their feelings? Are you aware doing so gives everyone even more license to ignore yours?

>>40149800
It's because the government doesn't allow them to be mad at immigrants, landlords, grooming gangs, or politicians. It does, however, allow and encourage them to be mad at transsexuals. So like good little sheep who love to be herded, they take all their rage at their shit lives not out on everyone responsible for it, but on the designated acceptable target.

>>40150019
No, most women are more concerned with the quality of maternity healthcare, or police violence, not FTMs existing.

Answer the question, would you call a colleague fat or ugly?

>>40150019
Obvious concern troll

>>40150078
>No, most women are more concerned with the quality of maternity healthcare, or police violence, not FTMs existing.
That's a different argument. Women can and do want both, just like how you care more about violence or healthcare but don't want to be misgendered.
>would you call a colleague fat or ugly?
No, for the exact same reasons I wouldn't misgender you or call a woman a pregnant person or a birthing person or any other unwanted term.

>>40150116
>No, for the exact same reasons I wouldn't misgender you or call a woman a pregnant person or a birthing person or any other unwanted term.

Oh so you wouldn't misgender someone, which means you have some degree of self awareness.

Yet you get angry at language used by the establishment which serves a duel purpose of acknowledging ftms exist, and is designed to anger you.

Do you enjoy being treated this way by your own government?

>>40150068
ooooooo that's a spicy one. you can call me "he" if you also kick me in the ribs and spit in my mouth. is that a fair compromise?

>>40150149

Dual purpose* but my original mistake is still appropriate lol

>>40150149
>used by the establishment which serves a duel purpose of acknowledging ftms exist
If that's actually your position, that the Establishment is intentionally wordcrafting to faux-ackwnowledge trans peoplenwhile really driving a wedge between them and the rest of the population, it seems like that's language you should oppose. Especially since there's plenty of other language to acknowledge trans people that isn't zero sum.
And yet you're defending the establishment poison pill language and deciding people who (per its design) find it offensive. And you feel confident in this position to have snark?

>>40150155
>you also kick me in the ribs and spit in my mouth
Don't engage in imaginative victimhood, at least ITT.

>>40150181

Why should we take people who find it offensive to hear about pregnant people seriously? It seems like they just want to erase trans men who get pregnant, I don't think you'd take me seriously if I said it's offensive to say Christian and you instead you should just say Catholic and ignore every other subgroup

The implication being "just deal with it its nbd", and the secondary implication alongside the "divide and conquer" explanation being "they're fine foe their strategy just let it happen and don't get mad." Which is siding with the victim over the perpetrator because you don't like the victim.
