   The BBC is facing mounting accusations that it has failed to report impartially on transgender issues.

   A formal complaint has been sent to Ofcom by the Bayswater Support Group, which represents hundreds of parents who believe the broadcaster has promoted one-sided coverage of sex and gender. The group accuses senior editors of failing to reflect dissenting views, glossing over safeguarding concerns and presenting gender identity as an uncontested fact.

   Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined by parents of two young people who socially transitioned as teenagers. They describe how their children’s gender identities were affirmed at school during the Covid pandemic and the lasting impact it has had on their families as the relationship with their children broke down. They also discuss examples cited by critics – from reporting on puberty blockers to children’s television and drama – alongside leaked allegations that programmes have been subject to internal censorship and their views of the corporation’s response.

     @HebrideanHecate We just need to leave the BBC alone to bring about its own demise. It's doing a great job so far.

     @KeepTakingTheSoma @HebrideanHecate Unfortunately you couldn't be more right. Its 'blind spot' regarding its audience is about equal to this government's re the people it governs.

     @BILLSan345 @HebrideanHecate I call them the new aristocracy. They truly believe that they have a divine right to govern us because they are better than us - more virtuous, more capable, more worthy.
     They practice a form of patronage by which they promise a share of the spoils they gather to those who keep them in power.
