I’m pretty sure Bindel’s transphobia got her booted from The Guardian on more than one occasion before the editorial team lost the collective plot.

my new ethical consumption thing is im no longer clicking on guardian etc hate reads and from now on will only post cached via archive.org as i refuse to give them their hate clicks. actual journalism stuff is fine, but not their 'why transphobia is not only the best strategy for labour, but morally correct' think pieces. i invite you all to join me in this high-minded and self-satisfied activity.

I've been doing that for a while now, which, along with the fact that I'm not British and don't live in the UK, explains why I hate The Guardian less than some of you. Ignorance is bliss.

it was recently pointed out to me that the scotland editor libby brooks is casually slipping hate speech into her articles now:
https://www.dumptheguardian.com/law/2021/feb/22/ill-set-no-limits-on-which-women-to-protect-from-hate-says-helena-kennedy
"The Scottish government’s own hate crime bill has attracted a huge amount of controversy and, while it was always the intention to examine this standalone option, the timing is far from ideal. As it stands, a bill is passing through Holyrood that criminalises the stirring up of hatred against men who dress as women but not the stirring up of hatred against women, while the decision of protections for women won’t be made until Kennedy’s working group reports back in 12 months’ time."

"For years, I’ve read stories about conditions at Amazon and thought: “That’s terrible.” But I’ve never felt terrible enough to change my behaviour and cancel my account. I’ve always found ways to justify using the service. It’s so damn convenient, after all. And I’m clearly not the only one who bypasses my principles in the name of convenience. Jeff Bezos could boast about how he likes drowning kittens in his spare time and, I’m pretty sure, people would continue to use Amazon."
