Row over BBC presenter’s scheme for trans access to school lavatories

  • A BBC presenter named Dr Ronx Ikharia has launched a campaign for trans inclusion in UK workplaces and schools, responding to a Supreme Court ruling on biological sex in the Equality Act.
  • The campaign includes yellow 'trans ally' badges intended to signal support for trans individuals seeking access to their preferred bathrooms in public spaces.
  • Helen Joyce from the charity Sex Matters criticized the campaign, labeling it a 'safeguarding catastrophe' and arguing that it puts children at risk by asking them to approach strangers for bathroom assistance.
  • Dr Ronx Ikharia stated, 'This badge is about making allyship visible,' expressing hope that it will be widely adopted in schools and public areas across the UK.
