An investigative journalist who has been looking into the Welsh Gender Service for several months said that referrals from the service had been "out of whack" with the rest of the UK.

They talk to and about this guy extensively without mentioning he’s an anti-trans blogger

Holy shit it's disgusting. They quote him going off on some anti autism bullshit to justify his transphobia. Fuck him and fuck you BBC. This article is full of transphobic bullshit.

BBC, Guaridan Uk, and most other British media are transphobic as fuck. It’s what’s ultimately turned me off all of them and seeing how much these legacy media institutions are not the arbiters of integrity and truth society thinks them.
