god i love springwatch. we cut from chris and michaela discussing whether or not "forest bathing" has to be done naked to an irish man who, very slowly, slurps up some water from a stream, stands up, stares directly into the camera. "You can't buy that in the shops," he says.

A British thing but I was so disappointed when Chris Packham referred on BBC Springwatch to Harry Potter as a reason Britain was great. At a time when trans people are calling for the new series to be boycott, when Rowling has been publicly celebrating her successful attack of trans rights, and after literal years of us saying people need to stop lauding her and her work.

I know it's the BBC and they're famously anti-trans but this was a seemingly off-the-cuff comment. It shows he doesn't listen to the trans community and is now complicit in promoting her new series. At this stage there isn't any excuse for ignorance especially for someone so renowned in the leading media station of the country.
