OK, that's one really article that was in bad faith, but I would argue the topic has journalistic value. But it should have been more nuanced.
Does that make the entire bbc transphobic? I am in full support of trans rights (I have a gender fluid child), but not everything is 100% black and white (cfr gender ;)) , one bad article doesn't make the entire bbc transphobic.
I gave it as one example, there's dozens more articles like it. They've been pushing anti-trans articles for years at this point. And it's been noted by LGBT media and others that entire time. Some examples:

Fair enough. Most articles are still about the original article, but it does seem the bcc (or at least the dinosaurs in control) has its own (shitty) trans agenda... .
Thanks for not attacking me, but giving actual info. Appreciate it.
I'll certainly be more wary about the bbc in the future.
