Martine Croxall, a BBC News presenter, is now thanking people for their support.<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old veteran news anchor said she disagreed with some of the words that were being displayed in the teleprompter. This last weekend, she made the decision to deviate from the dialogue on her teleprompter.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Croxall has been working for the BBC for the last 30 years. After she began her job in 1991, she decided to change the words she saw on the teleprompter.<\/p>\n

She was reading from the autocue during the broadcast, talking about people who are most at risk from heat-related illnesses amid the soaring temperatures in the UK.<\/p>\n

While referring to research conducted by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical, she almost said how \u2018pregnant people\u2019 should be more careful when enjoying the warmer weather.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But before she ended the sentence, she quickly corrected herself by saying \u2018women\u2019 instead of people and then signalled with her eyes that she was making a point.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cMalcom Mistry, who was involved in the research, says that the aged,\u00a0pregnant<\/a>\u00a0people \u2013 women \u2013 and those with pre-existing\u00a0health\u00a0conditions need to take precautions,\u201d Croxall said during the\u00a0broadcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Social media erupted with a debate on the matter. British Author, J.K. Rowling immediately showed her support of the\u00a0anchor<\/a>\u00a0on X by posting, \u201cI have a new favourite BBC presenter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Usually, the term \u2018pregnant people\u2019 is used to make things gender neutral to be inclusive of non-binary and\u00a0trans<\/a>\u00a0individuals who are pregnant. However, not everyone approves of this term, especially groups who are vocal against trans people.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Croxall is quite vocal about her opinions on this subject, having said in the past in a debate with a trans activist that, \u2018sex is binary and immutable.\u2019<\/p>\n

The news presenter took to social media to share her own thoughts about the entire thing. She wrote, \u201cA huge thank you to everyone who has chosen to follow me today for whatever reason. It\u2019s been quite a ride\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Croxall also said that she knew there might be consequences to her actions and she is \u2018braced\u2019 for a talk from the higher-ups, if they decide to raise an issue with her.<\/p>\n

The entire debate is one that is currently at the national forefront in several nations.<\/p>\n
