BBC in Gender Row as Training Course Created to Increase the Number of Female Production Staff Opened to Trans Women
The BBC finds itself entangled in a controversy over inclusivity as a training course designed to enhance the representation of female production staff is extended to men identifying as women. The Mail has more.
The six-day course, called ‘BBC: Female Self-Shooters’, was designed to teach women how to become camera operators – a role that has long been male-dominated in companies across the industry.
An advert shared around the Corporation says of the course: “Aimed at female (and those identifying as female) TV producers or those at producer level, who will be in a position to use the acquired skills after the training, e.g. as second camera operators, shooting taster tapes or directing your own self-shot film. If self-shooting camera skills are a barrier to your progress, this is the course for you!”
The cost of the training programme – which is due to be held in Belfast and will teach skills such as “storytelling, shooting for the edit and interview essentials”, is fully funded by the BBC.
However, female staff are said to be “cross and upset” that the initiative allows for non-biological women to apply and believe a separate course could be offered for those identifying as women.
A source at the Corporation said: “It’s a good thing that the BBC want to increase the number of females doing technical, behind-the-camera jobs, but would it be really too much to ask that the course could just be for women?”

Are you having a larf ? When will the people start pissing themselves with laughter at these decisions . Has the promotional standard of all publicly funded organisations resulted in Morons taking over at the Top . Has any sane person got oversight ?
No.
Yes to the first and no to the second.

You couldn’t make it up.
Please stop using the term “trans woman”
They are not women, they are men
Trans women are men, so what’s the problem with calling them ‘trans women’?
Logically, only men can be trans women. A person cannot be a trans woman without being a man because if they weren’t a man, they’d be a woman, not a trans woman.
There’s nothing logical about it. It’s intended to normalize the idea that a man can “become” a woman.
If we stopped using the term ‘trans woman’, what term would we use to distinguish them from men who are not claiming to be trans women?
Confused, deluded, suffering from a psychiatric disorder, lost touch with reality.
Take your pick.
A phrase that doesn’t contain the word “woman”. “Trans” is an adjective, and adjectives are usually used to to give more precise meaning to the word they are describing rather than contradict it. I suppose “fake woman” or “pretend woman” might work, though my personal favourite is “trans man”. I’m aware that “trans man” is currently used to describe women who think or pretend to think that they are men, which is equally confusing.
We must avoid using the language of our enemies, which is designed to confuse, corrupt and normalise mad or evil ideas.
Transvestites.
Blokes in dresses
How about “trancisters”? That’s nice and confusing.
How can I delete this? This term has already been coined by a mogrificato.
Can they do the job yes/no? End of.
(My management consultancy bill is in the post.)
In this case the question should be “will this person’s career benefit from attending the course?”.
If the answer’s yes they should be able to attend. Someone should sue the BBC for sex discrimination if they can’t go on a course because of the shape of their genitals.
Remember. “Identifying as…” actually means “pretending to be…”
Good for kids to do role play. A healthy and creative part of childhood.
For adults, a clear sign of mental instability.
More men to take women’s jobs! 🤣🤣
You couldn’t make this sh!t up!
Two things: women are not good at manly things. Muslims are right about women’s behavior
