Woman quoted in piece later described trans women as ‘vile, weak and disgusting’
The BBC has been forced to edit an article condemned as transphobic after a woman quoted in the piece described trans women as “vile, weak and disgusting” and it emerged she had previously been accused of sexual misconduct.
Standing behind its decision to publish the piece online last week – headlined “We’re being pressured into sex by some trans women” – the BBC took the decision on Thursday to remove a contribution from a former porn star, Lily Cade, “in light of comments” she made following its publication, after a week of sustained pressure and criticism.
