In a blunder that has the BBC apologizing left and right, they mistakenly used wrong pronouns during a broadcast on a Supreme Court ruling regarding gender in the UK. The court ruled that terms "woman" and "sex" in gender legislation refer only to biological women and sex. The mistake occurred on S4C's English subtitles, using pronouns tied to birth sex, stirring up controversy.
Despite Red Bee's policy to correctly reflect individuals' identities, a human error slipped through. After issuing apologies, both BBC and Red Bee are scrambling to prevent similar future slip-ups. How much longer will this game of linguistic gymnastics go on?
