They'll use the excuse that it's a political slogan.

Jeez that is pathetic of the BBC

Reminder to folks that "doll" is a term made by and for black trans women. It's not a synonym for all trans women. BBC censoring it isn't just transphobic but *also* racist.

good grief

whoa. the UK seems to be in a very bad place and getting worse

Took me five seconds to find this one. It is literally advertising a shop.

and the Obligatory Poppy obvs

As if "Let's not murder trans people outright" is too controvercial.

they are terrified of our continued existence

Censorship is a tool of fascism.

BBC is a TERF network and should be banned.

UK media (aside from independents) has some serious questions to answer. "They’d rather gloss over it now, but the UK establishment media were falling over themselves to praise Mandelson when he was appointed ambassador to the USA" labourrightwatch.wordpress.com/2026/10/12/t...

complaint submitted. Appalling editorial decision.

What the BBC being transphobic? :P

Tut tut.

Nothing says "listening to women" like censoring women who speak up

Exactly.

Likewise.

I had this thought also. Like it took me a hot second to go "... oh yes I do know what that means and it's in support of trans women" and I'm pretty online. And even a couple of years ago I don't think I would've known. I'm prepared to bet the vast majority of Strictly watchers wouldn't understand.

Classic BBC

The BBC has been promoting the Reform Party nonstop I can’t say I’m surprised.

🏳️‍⚧️ family raising our neurodivergent son, and right now we’re trying to raise $296 for car tags and taxes. Our car is something our family depends on every day. No car=homeless for my family $amybeth10 VENMO/PAYPAL LINKS in BIO Can 296 ppl donate $1 or $2 $296 left #ComingOutDay #MutualAid

The irony of them, by blurring the text, meant kind of erasing her breasts...

WTF ?!? Like the BBC really has been doing some questionable stuff occasionally, but this is - insane to me!

The commitment to DEI only goes so far I guess. Blind, deaf, dwarfism, gay, not gay, black, brown, wheelchair-bound, one-legged, OAP contestants are fine but heaven forbid any mention of trans.

I tried, I tried a lot with people. If you disappear, know that I begged you to donate and you didn't. At least, if you leave, don't leave my family.

Those rich gay men that BBC entertainment output relies on could shut this shit down in a fucking instant if they chose to.

Complaint submitted.

BBC is so cucked they are willing to go to these lengths to protect a hack ass author & her mold brain infected fans.

heinous.

I keep finding uses for this

🤦🏼‍♀️

I’d like to know who actually decided that was not to appear … and what their reasoning was? Is it BBC policy or one person’s attitude? Fascists are running the BBC and Burnham’s government need to do something fast, or get Lisa Nandy replaced now.

Is that a blur? Looks like they just edited it out entirely

God the bbc is a disgrace thats literally how i felt when they dropped drag race 😡

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protect...

OK, thanks. I'll look them up. Wikipedia is so handy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protect...

It's a trans rights slogan

Found this btw www.theguardian.com/media/2025/o...

Seem to remember they had no problem with a Terf-y message in Amanda Abbingdon's kitchen (Adult Human Female or something similar) in a VT a few years ago, even after the furore around her being selected. Can't find any record of it now though.

still think about the bullshit response they gave me. Funny how they say they need "accuracy of language" on this topic but then went right ahead with slurring trans women in their news outlets

UK censorship goes well beyond following guidelines and far into "this is not to my liking" territory youtu.be/k-Ha1SxHagE

You'd think that the vast majority of shape changing battle robots were devoid of anything like a biological gender identity.

When you say “not the first time”… …1970 called. They think this bigotry is a bit old hat.

Pathetic

The BBC is institutionally transphobic and it couldn’t be clearer.

Not surprised, one damned bit.

I'm so curious what will happen if JKR's egg does crack someday ...

Fuck them Be better than the BBC <|:3

Yeah I hope it costs them a bunch to blur it each time

100+ likes and one 20$ donation, come on yall, show up for your girl 🥺💔

Sent a little 🧡 Have a safe move!

"Neutrality," but only if it favours hate speech. What a piece of work of a state broadcaster.

WTAF

Someone with Tourette's uncontrollably blurting out a racial slur = Left in Someone wearing a shirt that expresses support for trans women = CENSORED I strongly believe in the importance of the BBC as an idea, but the people running it are fucking ghouls.

Here we go again www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...

Channel 4 would've left Bethany's shirt unblurred because CHANNEL 4 IS FOUR TIMES BETTER THAN THE BBC.

*David, not decide. Fucking swipe typing and autocorrect.

"It might offend people!" buddy if you're worried about offending bigots, you're on the wrong side

Kind of thing you’d expect from the CCP.

BBC about to learn about the Streisand Effect, I hope

She needs to wear one of these next week... Just to keep them on their toes punksandchancers.co.uk/collections/...

The BBC is now controlled by Reform supporters, so it sadly doesn't surprise me.

Yeah... The BBC has shown it's arse on TV more than enough already... They are just shitting on their own legacy with cruel stunts like this.

If they want to censor stuff, they should just add black bars so that we know it's being censored. Photoshopping it out is not a good look. Smacks of authoritarianism.

The way this just made my blood pressure spike

Very good point.

I will be drawing a clear distinction between “not endorsing a political message” and “censoring human rights messages” when I complain.

Censoring is political

unfortunately uk law does not consider trans women to be worthy of protection

For shame.

The amount of institutional transphobia that you need to do this... jfc

She's also gay, making it even more important to the BBC to censor her. Can't have the public seeing that lesbians overwhelmingly support us (more than trans people support trans people according to some polls), it would ruin the whole narrative they've been pushing for years now.

So you can say cunt on British TV but not protect the dolls. Interesting.

And perhaps that's the point, reflecting the UK's anti-trans views to the world.

Bitch behavior channel, more like.

BBC = Fox News

So, I've had similar exchanges to this before and I've never been quite sure what the other person means by 'political'. When I use it I mean something like 'relating to how society should be organised and governed'.

I’m sure Toby Young and his “Free Speech Union” will be all over this act of blatant state censorship.

How very Disney of them

Because apparently protecting women is such a controversial topic that it has to be hidden from sight

Very normal and healthy waste of national broadcaster funds, digitally bleaching messages that support or acknowledge trans people. Defund those pigs, seriously.

indeed... edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

"but with the magical power of AI you'll be able to oppress everyone and in real time!" You WILL follow "the agenda" whether you like it or not, seems to be the message.

What I hate most about this is it means somebody knew what it meant and chose to rub it out. I imagine a lot of strictly viewers would've been like, "huh...I wonder what that means?.." and then not bothered to look it up - and they were spared even a tiny moment of curiosity

#BBC once again validating the #StreisandEffect theory

the british media's commitment to transphobia is depressing

I was rooting for her anyway but now even moreso

Now, I may have gotten the info a bit mixed up across the ocean, but isn't this the same broadcaster who enabled and covered for Jimmy Saville for decades?

This seems to be 'doing the numbers, as today's youth with the nice long hair like to say. I suppose I should tell you about my podcast? I don't have one! Hah-ha, you fell for old podcast trick.

literal nazi germany type shit she should wear that every performance from now on just to show how degenerate BBC is
