An individual who was born male, but transgendered to become female, has been arrested after her neighbour heard them listening to Woman’s Hour and made a police complaint.
It isn’t clear at this stage if they will be charged, or under which offence, but a BBC spokesperson told Newsbiscuit 'It should be obvious from the programme’s name that anyone who isn’t legally a woman, shouldn’t be listening to Woman's Hour.'
We asked the BBC if it had plans to broadcast a programme to cater for the interests of transgender people. A BBC spokesperson, who politely declined to say which gender they identify as, explained that the BBC had to comply with the law and its own strict equality rules. It would therefore be necessary to have separate additional programmes to cater for transgender women as well transgender men; possibly even transgender hermaphrodites. They noted that a decision has still to be made about whether a 1923 proposal for a programme called Man’s Hour can go ahead, and advised us they wouldn’t hold their breath, if they were us.

MPs are insisting that the time and a half payment for Saturday work, they found written on this week’s pay packet is derisory; and unless it’s made up to double time, they won’t turn up on Saturdays again for the foreseeable future, even if Russia invades.
A now, non-existent, transgender spokesbeing for the MPs' union told Newsbiscuit “This is a complete mockery of what our members expected from the Labour Party; and the Tory faction of our membership in particular, feel completely betrayed in allowing them to take over government,”
