The state of transphobia in the UK is deeply alarming.

“Unfortunately, my opinions outside the BBC have been considered problematic for sometime, whether it has been voicing support for the #trans community, criticism of Donald Trump, numerous other outlandish opinions, including once gently criticising Stephen Fry.” — #RobinInce

I have to wonder: What is #BrianCox but an infinite disappointment, leaving #RobinInce alone in this.

#RobinInce may appreciate being followed since he resigned from The Infinite Monkey Cage on what seems to be a matter of principle.

@robinince

It seems the British Bastard Corporation* didn't like his public life displaying support for trans people, and his criticism of Felonious Trump.

Let's be clear--BBC wanted to
control what he said on his blogs etc, not just while he was recording The Infinite Monkey Cage. Is #FascistTwats a bit strong?

*I don't say that lightly--my father was a voice on the BBC World Service, back in the days when they had fucking standards.

Worth noting that "Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal" by @robinince is only 99p on #Kindle today only, while Hannah Ritchie's data-driven climate change Q&A "Clearing the Air" is only £1.99.

Unusually, these prices aren't matched in the #Kobo store, but they will refund the difference *in store credit* if you make a price match request.

This is really sad. Robin is just as much of a national treasure as Brian Cox. He's got his head screwed on properly. The BBC hasn't got a head.

I named my company 'The Infinite Monkey Lab' because I loved their show so much. So long and thanks for all the thoughtful laughs.

the #BBC now hates trans people so much that they let people go over being transfriendly *off-air*.
I'll say it again: you being an ally to trans people *outside the bounds of your show* is now grounds for the BBC to try and get you to leave.
fucking hell.

Trans hostility at the BBC has spread beyond the news division
