This is a dates, names and places blog – there’s no speculation about motive. Many of those involved were more active in ensuring the BBC complied with the demands of activists: some were simply at meetings. Included in the log are the activities of other parties involved such as Channel 4, Trans Media Watch, Ofcom, All About Trans and so on. Channel 4 fell faster and, over time, has fallen harder, while the BBC shows signs of waking up.
This is Part One, to 2015/16, so does not include the LGBT Progression Report partnered with Stonewall, the creation of two specialist gender identity roles, the call for staff to start adopting pronoun declarations, the failed attempt by Stonewall to further subvert accurate language, the revelation that 400 staff are trans, the rising influence of BBC Pride, or the eventual exit of Mermaids and Stonewall from the BBC. There might be more names and illustrations to come. But this is an initial skeletal guide, with links for reference. It’s a living log and more info will be added.
