Listeners complained after BBC Radio 6 Music played They/Them by the band Dream Nails, which includes the lyrics “kick terfs all day, don’t break a sweat”. The term “terf” — trans-exclusionary radical feminist — is a pejorative term against women who oppose transgender people using female-only spaces.

The BBC dismissed objections to the song. A member of the complaints team said: “People will interpret songs with any element of nuance or ambiguity differently.”

“Nuance or ambiguity”? 
 @Flick 🇬🇧 I feel bad for Brits that you are forced at gunpoint by the state to pay for its BBC.
