The Bayswater Support Group (BSG), which represents more than 800 parents of primary-school-aged children and teenagers who believe they are transgender, has told Ofcom it will take legal action in the High Court unless it reverses its decision not to investigate their complaints about the corporation’s trans coverage.
The parents claim the broadcaster is promoting trans lifestyles to young people who are already vulnerable because of their age and mental health needs.
At times, the BBC has even appeared to encourage children to undertake irreversible medical transition, the parents claim.
The Telegraph revealed last November that among the parents’ complaints is that senior BBC managers dismissed their concerns and failed to take them seriously.
