   @ryanhoulihan "The debate over Elagabalus's gender identity is long-standing and often splits academics." I've never seen a split academic. I wonder if they have a picture.

     That is why it was right for the #bbc to be accepted in the #fediverse.

     Of course not but because the system had to be maintained as open and as tolerant as possible, however unpalatable this might be. There has to be caution and reluctance to set boundaries - which not at all the same as "free speech absolutism".

     @ryanhoulihan @djr They report what's happening. It *could* have displeased *some* but 'The BBC' has a charter of impartiality.

     @ryanhoulihan If anyone is interested you can email the BBC and ask them to update the misgendering across the article.
