Article claiming some lesbians feel pressured into sex by trans women found to have fallen beneath standards
A BBC article claiming some lesbians feel pressured into sex by trans women did not meet the broadcaster’s standards on accuracy, the corporation has concluded.
The article – titled “We’re being pressured into sex by some trans women” – was published in October 2021 and became a lightning rod for attitudes towards trans people at the BBC. The broadcaster faced widespread accusations of transphobia and protests outside its offices, while also receiving backing from some gender-critical feminists.
