OUR ELITES ARE MORONS: BBC tried to discipline journalist for claiming men cannot scientifically be women.

A former BBC journalist was subjected to a disciplinary process for tweeting that there was no scientific support for the idea that “males can be women”.

Cath Walton revealed that she was called before an internal BBC hearing after she also said that the issue of gender identity was “contested”.

Reflecting on her treatment by the BBC, she said that in discussing issues around people who change gender, “truth has become an emblem of defiance rather than clarity”.

She spoke out after Justin Webb, the Radio 4 Today programme presenter, was found to have breached the BBC’s impartiality rules by saying “trans women, in other words males”.

The corporation’s executive complaints unit (ECU) upheld a complaint from a listener who said that Mr Webb had been giving his personal view on a controversial matter.

His supporters say he was simply stating a fact and clarifying the definition of a trans woman as a biological male living as a woman.

Well, he was.
