These journalists know what they’re doing. They remember that the last time the British press hyper-focused on a single trans woman she took her own life (cw #suicide #transmisogyny). So when they put pen to paper week after week to attack a trans woman who has committed no crime except to attempt to involve herself in public life, there is only one goal they can possibly have:
55 Labour activists involved in the Jo Cox Women in Leadership scheme wrote to the newspaper to defend Ms Madigan in response.
The Times declined to publish the letter, in spite of extensive coverage criticising the student.
The Times can publish weeks upon weeks of deeply personal attacks on a teenager, but when people call them out and prove them wrong, the Times ignores it.
This isn’t news. This is a vendetta.
Please support her.
this is what happens on a smaller scale to trans women all the time in jobs/school etc unless they’re stealth
