'We're not transphobes,' say the Observer leader writers. So what is the explanation for the fact they write again and again, on all aspects of trans lives, and invariably in a fashion hostile to trans people?
'Black people are a danger to white women. I don't think they should get public services I take for granted. And how dare they call me out as a racist - don't they know I have free speech rights?'
If you are going to use your privileged pulpit to preach ignorance and hate at least own who you are: you are a bigot.
Maybe you think trans women shouldn't compete in women's sport. Or trans women are a danger to cis women. Or being trans is a mental illness requiring therapy. There's no link of logic between those views. If you hold all three it's a racing certainty you're a transphobe. Own it.
