There’s an entire Wikipedia article on one of their more egregious cases, where they platformed a genocidal rapist cis lesbian who was claiming all trans women are rapists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22We%27re_being_pressured_into_sex_by_some_trans_women%22

OK, that’s one really article that was in bad faith, but I would argue the topic has journalistic value. But it should have been more nuanced.

Does that make the entire bbc transphobic? I am in full support of trans rights (I have a gender fluid child), but not everything is 100% black and white (cfr gender ;)) , one bad article doesn’t make the entire bbc transphobic.

Don’t embellish the point. It completely undermines what you’re saying.

People who refuse to acknowledge forced sterilisation as genocide are genuinely some of the worst type of people.

I don’t think you should be sterilised but I do think you should stop being such an ignoramus.

Thanks for this. Really opened my eyes.

What are some more central/impartial news source for international coverage?

Honestly? There isn’t really one. I think the best you can do is expose yourself to various sources and apply a very, very, very high dose of skepticism to everything you read.
