BBC presenter clashes with trans CEO of endometriosis charity over appointment

A BBC radio presenter clashes with the transgender CEO of an endometriosis charity, questioning her suitability for the role. Emma Barnett, who has endometriosis, spoke to the recently-appointed CEO of Endometriosis South Coast, Steph Richards on BBC’s Woman Hour radio show, as many online have pushed back against the appointment. The interview created a commotion on social media with a side defending Barnett’s line of questioning and others voicing support for Richards. Richards took to X after the show, asking if Barnett wanted “to talk about #endo or the word ‘woman’?” BBC have defended the interview, calling it fair and robust. Source: BBC
