That twitter thread is a gift. On the one hand, lots of sensible women and a few men saying they can't support the Guardian because of their consistent misogyny, bullying, mis-reporting, selective silencing of viewpoints, homophobia (sending a lesbian on a blind date with a TW which turned into a massive clusterfuck), and so on.

And then on the other hand, hardcore TRAs who are saying the Guardian is not a good enough ally, and is transphobic. When the Guardian has gone all-in on the brave new world of trans.

Just goes to show, no matter how much you sell yourself out, no matter how much of a pathetic, grovelling organisation/publication you become, it will never be enough for some.

I agree, they're some of the most vocal allies out there even silenced a co-editor choosing feelings over facts and they aren't satisfied, they're seriously becoming a cult, you must agree with trans advocates at all times or you're not good enough, there's no room for discussion even when it comes to science.

Give an inch, they'll take a mile (while calling you hateful for not offering every last mile you have).
