RT \u2013 June 27, 2022<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Britain’s state-broadcaster BBC hired \u201ctrans and nonbinary inclusion\u201d<\/em> consultants to tell its staff that there are more than 150 genders and instruct them to police each other\u2019s use of gender pronouns, the Telegraph reported on Saturday.<\/p>\n

According to the report<\/a>, the BBC emailed its radio producers and program editors urging them to attend several training sessions last year organized by Global Butterflies, a group that describes itself on LinkedIn as offering \u201cTrans & Non-binary Corporate Inclusion Training and Consultation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>During the sessions, staff were reportedly told that \u201cpeople can self-identify themselves in over 150 ways, and increasing!\u201d<\/em> They were shown examples of newly-invented gender pronouns such as \u201cxe, xem, xyrs,\u201d<\/em> and told to include their own pronouns in their email signatures to be more \u201cinclusive and welcoming\u201d and to further their \u201ctrans brand.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Those opting to go by traditional \u201che\/she\u201d<\/em> pronouns were told that these descriptors \u201ccan create discomfort, stress and anxiety\u201d<\/em> for trans and non-binary colleagues, and that \u201cusing correct pronouns and names reduces depression and suicide risks.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you overhear a colleague using the incorrect pronouns for someone, take them aside and remind them of the correct pronouns,\u201d<\/em> attendees were told.<\/p>\n

The training sessions were held less than a year after Tim Davie took over as the BBC\u2019s director. Upon taking the reins, Davie instructed<\/a> employees at the taxpayer-funded broadcaster to stop \u201cvirtue-signaling\u201d<\/em> online and urged journalists to remain impartial and even to watch their body language and tone of voice when on camera, to avoid revealing \u201ca personal opinion or prejudice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Amid this apparent crackdown on woke ideology, employees within the BBC\u2019s \u2018Pride Network\u2019 claimed<\/a> that they were told by higher-ups to \u201cget used to\u201d<\/em> covering stories and hearing opinions that hurt their feelings, such as a story on lesbians being coerced into sex with transgender women, who are biologically male.<\/p>\n

However, the Telegraph\u2019s source, who recently quit the corporation, said that \u201cthe BBC simply doesn\u2019t understand what\u2019s going on with gender identity ideology,\u201d<\/em> and has \u201cbeen pandering to a social contagion amongst young people rather than being the adult in the room.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The whistleblower said that there is a \u201ctight-knit cabal at the top of BBC News who give tacit approval to gender ideology.\u201d<\/em> This group allegedly shoots down stories critical of transgender ideology, while stories that \u201caffirm gender ideology\u2026go straight to output.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The BBC did not tell the Telegraph how much taxpayer money it paid Global Butterflies for the training sessions but said that it has since cut ties with the group. The training sessions were described by a BBC spokesman as \u201cvoluntary\u201d<\/em> and allegedly had \u201cno link to, or influence on, any editorial decision making.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Global Butterflies did not respond to the Telegraph, and its website was down for maintenance when checked by RT. An archived version<\/a> of the site from last year lists the London Stock Exchange, Shell, the National Health Service, the British Transport Police and the United Kingdom Strategic Command as some of its clients. Also mentioned as a client is OFCOM, Britain\u2019s media regulator responsible for policing the content of broadcasters, including the BBC.<\/p>\n
