What does anti-trans bias in media look like?

It looks like an article about complaints over the mere existence of a transgender character in a TV show that came from less than 0.0001895% of the show’s viewers, needlessly amplifying the bigotry of an infinitesimal number of complainers and granting them unwarranted attention.

Worsened by a headline that treats the number of complaints as significant and worded as though they hold some validity.

@amaditalks The biggest issue with Dr Who is that Tennants is still there, give some spotlight to other doctors, why is it always him?
There's no need to come up with fake, stupid non existing issues. A transgender character is not a problem.

@raccoon this was a series of special episodes in the lead up to the new Doctor played by Ncuti Gatwa. Tennant isn’t staying in the role.

@amaditalks Yeah, but why did he have to appear in the first place? Why not any other doctor?
It's always him.

@raccoon probably because none of the others wanted to do it. Everyone else moves on from the role and they don’t want to revisit it. He, conversely, loves it. And the fans love him and they really love him and Catherine Tate together.

@amaditalks I guess it's just me then, I really got tired of him on the show.
