Funny that it's the guardian reporting on this considering how transphobic they are.

It is the US version. 🤷‍♀️

Ah, right, yeah, historically interestingly they have been less transphobic. They even called the UK version out once.

Who knows, maybe in their mind it makes Pedro look bad?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, this was our thinking based on the headline alone.

I think they're trying to smear Pedro. They refer to his tweet as an attack and bring up his trans sister twice, implying that he only cares because his family is affected. The language they use to talk about JKR is, by contrast, much more sympathetic.

Ah, makes sense. Yeah, we got that feeling from the title alone as it seemed very matter a fact, not really standing up for him. Fuck the guardian.

all mainstream newspapers and tv news etc in the UK is transphobic. They may be subtle or more open about it depending on their apparent political leanings, but the UK's guardian has said some pretty transphobic things in the past and we don't have much hope they'll stop doing so, especially now.
