Carly Hoy is among eight staff challenging an "inclusive" policy which allowed a female-only changing room at Darlington Memorial Hospital to be used by a biological male who identifies as a woman.

I'm not at all surprised to read something like this from British media, but it's still appalling to see a public broadcaster spreading hate and pseudoscience. Even the quotes around "inclusive".

The flagrant misgendering throughout the piece, the lack of any quote or attempt to get a statement from the trans person in question, the use of "biological male", the quotation marks around "inclusive", the published unsubstantiated rumors about a person's potential personal family planning choices with over the top medicalized languaged like "inseminate"... This piece is the most hateful thing I have read in a minute and even the BBC, that shithole of anti trans reporting should be fucking ashamed at how flagrant the transphobia is.

I'm really sorry i should have put content warnings in it, it's horrible language
