Seems to be a Guardian US piece (not transphobes) shared by the Guardian proper (institutionally transphobic).

The Guardian US has a seperate funding structure and editorial independence. It's confusing, but it matters - they're not the bad guys (but the UK Guardian are).

The unmistakeable message being sent to other ICE agents is "if you murder someone--even on camera in broad daylight--we will gladly cover it up for you"

Breaking NYT:

The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

BRENNAN: Tell me about the officer, Jonathan Ross

KRISTI NOEM: Don't say his name! I mean, for heaven's sake, we shouldn't have people continue to dox law enforcement

BRENNAN: His name is public

NOEM: I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said

Supporting LGBT+ rights is political in a way that breaches the civil service code and opposing them is not political in a way that precludes charitable status is a... complex position to hold, although one managed by former LGBA hate group with charitable status trustee Kathleen Stock.
Times headline Kathleen Stock criticises civil servants joing Pride marches as 'obviously political' events.

Good luck with cracking down on hormones. They're some of the most widely prescribed medications. "Cracking down" will only push people further into more illicit sources. Just look at how the war on drugs has worked.
Cass told the New Statesman that gathering long-term data on hormones was “absolutely just as important, if not more important than, the puberty blocker component” of the research proposals contained in her review. Perhaps the knowledge of widespread self-medicating among young people will provide the impetus to put in place the necessary infrastructure to do just that. A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Social Care said: “The safety of children and young people is our top priority. We do not condone self-medication with cross sex hormones. These are licensed, prescription-only medicines and should only be used by people who are eligible and under medical supervision.” Medical regulators will “crack down on any rogue prescribers, products and online services putting people in danger,” they added.

What did you think would happen when you restricted access to care?
“A screenshot of a news article from The Times website. The headline reads: ‘Children taking DIY cross-sex hormones before going to gender clinics.’ The subheadline states: ‘Hundreds of young trans people are buying puberty blockers, oestrogen and testosterone without prescription from websites and even recreational drug dealers.’ The page header includes navigation links, a log-in button, and a ‘Start trial’ button.”

Reminder that 100,000 people marched for Trans Pride in London earlier this year, but because they weren't violent fascists, there was minimal press coverage, unlike the Nazis today.

The U.K. mainstream media is absolutely complicit in fomenting and promoting HATE!

They absolutely IGNORE inclusion and solidarity while they PROMOTE divisive conflict, racism, transphobia and violence! 😖

The BBC, GB News, The Times, Telegraph, Guardian, all of them are complicit!

100,000 trans people & allies march through London without threatening or making anyone feel like it is a no-go area.

Media: crickets.

100,000 fascists & Nazis march through London threatening violence & making anyone not cishet & white feel it is a no-go area.

Media: wall-to-wall live coverage.

No one would bother writing a column complaining that racists aren't welcome in the Scottish Greens, regardless of how much they care about tackling the climate emergency.

Why do so many journalists struggle with the idea that we take the same position on anti-trans voices?

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.
