Oh wow two whole days without spreading transphobia and labour apologia whoohoo

Together with National Union of Journalists (NUJ) colleagues at the Guardian and Observer I am on strike today for 48 hours over the proposed transfer of the Observer to Tortoise Media.

Everyone's like: 'don't read the Grauniad for the next two days!'

Way ahead of ya bud.

Why they worrying, all paper newspapers will disappear in next 3-5 years anyway.

What a treat

I'm not even a Limey and I'm nauseated by the grauniad now, Rose. You cannot imagine how bad their US 'coverage' is--regurgitated Beltway-OUTsider vomit, served up as if it were the haute cuisine of punditry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember when the guardian compared trans women to Wayne Couzens :) and when they declared their official editorial position that trans kids shouldn’t be affirmed

They are the Tofu-eating transphoberati.

Was that Sonia Sodha? I wrote to them to complain about that and their unquestioning reception of the Cass 'report' (groundless assertions) - no answer. It's terrible to watch a socialist paper collapse into nodding along with the Tory crowd.

Christ i had forgotten that ones. When they hadn't yet successfully bullied labour

Wasn’t it also the guardian that redacted Judith Butler’s assertion that gender criticalism is a strand of fascism

I'm still thinking about the Guardian US journalists penning a letter to the UK edition to the effect of "what the fuck is wrong with you" on trans rights

Ooh just remembered another one what was it “forget about andrew tate how about these trannies“ something like that

kimberlydairine.bsky.social•88 days ago

God I can't help but hear that quotation in Abigail's sarcasm voice

worldwearywoman.bsky.social•88 days ago

They did redact it, though Judith Butler didn’t say it was a strand of fascism.

She said (paraphrased) that you can’t share sex realist ideology with fascism, and also fight against fascism.

Ah well if only they hadnt removed it so we could accurately quote it ey

My take on it at the time…https://worldwearywoman.medium.com/what-the-butler-wrote-9aa91b374f51
