Because by and large society has decided that racism is a bad and unacceptable thing. There's pockets of it about but no one is taking that seriously. The current discussion around gender and how society moves to accommodate peoples exploration of their identity in the modern world is still very much ongoing.
I don't agree with the gender critical or "TERF" arguments, I'm very much of the belief that everyone should be allowed to identify and live as their chosen gender with access to the rights and services that dictates. However some people don't, for various reasons.
We can call them bigots and attempt to shun them and hide them away, but it's not going to stop smaller news outlets that are actually bigoted like GBNews or Talk TV having them on without the pro-Trans counterpoint that the BBC would have.
Better to shine a light on these people and force them to justify their beliefs in a neutral environment than spred then in one that's already in agreement with them no?
Lol no, because as far as i can tell they dont do it with other forms of bigotry like racism.
