A columnist from The Times newspaper in Britain has launched a scathing attack on BBC Radio 4 for promoting gender ideology in the lives of children. Janice Turner criticised an interview on the station with a 10-year-old girl whose parents used the internet to conclude the child was ‘non-binary’ after she has asked for a “pirates birthday party, disdained dolls” and “liked Peter Pan”. Turner further criticised the interviewer for failing to ask the girl’s mother “whether asking every day ‘are you a boy or a girl?’ was good for her daughter’s mental health [or]whether it was appropriate to ask your 10-year-old ‘if you were a man would you be gay or straight?’” She concluded: “The BBC is allowing to enter the mainstream, unquestioned, a pernicious ideology that demands parents patrol their children for gender crimes – boys who like dolls, girls who climb trees – and then seek a label and treatment.”
