Apparently the BBC (UK) has had 144 complaints about a recent episode of #DoctorWho because it contained an openly #trans character.
I'm going to make a complaint to the BBC that there weren't enough #transgender characters in Doctor Who. I would love if 144 other people did the same thing. Here's the link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/complaints/make-a-complaint/#/Complaint
(For your easy reference: "The Star Beast" aired on 25/11/2023, BBC One, and the trans character is called Rose.)
Reply when you've done it, so we can count us all. When we get to 145, everyone... gets a free BLÅHAJ? 🦈
Edit: 2 days later, mission successful: 159 complaints/comments submitted, and still climbing! A *huge* thank you everyone - stay tuned for hopefully some freedom of information requests!

Textbox: I am upset because Doctor Who only two transgender characters - Rose (Donna's daughter) and the Doctor. I think Doctor Who would be way better if there were more trans people in it. If we assume the Doctor is genderfluid kinda, and Rose is a trans woman, there should at least be a trans man in there somewhere!
Anyway, thank you for adding some trans representation, I appreciate it, and I'm sorry to hear you had complaints about Doctor Who being "too woke". Trans people are all over the shop in real life, it only makes sense to have them on TV every now and again too.
