Really love how cis ppl who've never been impacted by or cared about #BBC's years of overtly anti-#trans coverage are suddenly experts on what is/isn't transphobia.

I have nuanced views about the value of pre-emptive blocks and the vital importance of creating space for news organizations.

But I'm really disappointed with a number of #fediverse thought leaders whose stance to our legit pain seems to be dismissal and mockery of folks most directly harmed by their coverage.

I think it's possible for different well-intentioned folk to come to different conclusions about the #BBC, harm done to the #trans community by their coverage over the years, our hopes for the future of the #fediverse, etc.

But while forming opinions, maybe seek out writing by ACTUAL trans thinkers and journalists. Not just the quick reactions of cis social media admins who've never had to grapple with any of it.

Speaking of, that's something BBC itself is historically quite bad at.
