Amelia's Angels
Amelia’s Angels concludes its investigation into the BBC’s 1,150% surge in stigmatising language. We trace the role of key figures within the BBC and document the institutional barriers in the complaints and FOI processes that have accompanied this shift in editorial standards.
Amelia’s Angels uncovers an over ten-fold rise in the BBC’s use of “biological” qualifiers. From outside lobbying to the upcoming Charter Renewal, we examine the forces driving this shift and explain why we believe the BBC’s “audience confusion” defence to be editorial fiction. The data is clear: the national broadcaster is pivoting, and accountability is missing.
We want to take a moment to share clear facts and offer some reassurance to our trans and allied community.
A calm, grounded look at where we might be headed – and how we can stay prepared without panicking.
