BBC apologise after gamer accuses Harry Potter author JK Rowling of transphobia

www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk

Exclusive: Evan Davis was blasted after he hosted a segment on BBC Radio 4 where a gamer urged a boycott of Hogwarts Legacy and claimed JK Rowling was using her platform to spread hate.

"This was not challenged by the presenter despite the fact that it has never been proven that Ms Rowling has said anything transphobic in her career."

State-funded media, people.

Considering the BBC's long history of not giving a shit about transphobia, this checks out.
