      Why is the BBC telling children that there are "outlooks and social norms" for men and women, and if you don't identify with them you might be born in the wrong body? How about telling children that men and women can be and do anything and not be confined by sexist ideas? https://twitter.com/jonnnybest/status/1175855225367859201 …

      That would be pretty bad from the BBC, but I can't see that wording in the link. Perhaps it's been changed? "We may be female, but feel more comfortable thinking of ourselves as a male. When we feel this way, we are transgender."

          This is extremely concerning. Not only that the BBC wrote this in the first place, but that they have edited it. If the BBC equate being trans to identifying with sexist stereotypes, why does anyone think children would not do the same? /

          There is no way of explaining this stuff without recourse to gender stereotypes. What is it that 'thinking of yourself as male or female' (when that is not the material reality) means otherwise? 🙄 So they can delete the sentence but not replace it with anything else
