Earlier this year, Townhall reported how Bud Light received intense, irrecoverable backlash for partnering with “transgender” influencer and activist Dylan Mulvaney. As boycotts ensued, some beer distributors acknowledged that they believe customers will never go back to the brand. And, Billy Busch, the heir of Anheuser-Busch, said in an interview that his ancestors would be “rolling over in their graves” over the company’s partnership with Mulvaney.
This month, another company received backlash for weaving the LGBTQ+ agenda into a show by creating a character who is “trans.” BBC received over 100 complaints from viewers for including a “transgender” character in the program “Doctor Who.”
According to Deadline, the corporation received 144 messages from viewers about the character, Rose, played by Yasmin Finney. Some viewers claimed her character was”anti-male” while others said it was “inappropriate” to include a trans character altogether.

Entertainment Tonight claimed that the show has “been notable for its inclusionary casting” in recent years, including establishing that a specific character “periodically switches genders.”
Showrunner Russell T. Davies told EW that the role of Rose would continue to pop up in the show.
"I was writing a trans character who’s a teenager, part of a London family, of mixed race, and that’s an unusual set of conditions for a character to meet," Davies reportedly said. "The list of people who would audition for that is not very long. Along came Yasmin, and we just closed the door after that, because there she was! She’s absolutely terrific, and she has more appearances to come, simply because I adore working with her."
Newsweek reported that many critics and fans have criticized the show, which aired for the first time in 1963, for becoming “woke” and pushing “woke propaganda.”
