From:

The article cites one opinion piece, and then makes vague claims about there being other examples. If there are so many, why doesn’t it reference any of them?

Pink News? Wikipedia rates it as only “generally reliable”, way below many other UK sources. Are you serious, you rate PN’s content over that of, say, the BBC?

The letter, from hundreds of Guardian employees says:
"We are also disappointed in the Guardian’s repeated decision to publish anti-trans views...But the pattern of publishing transphobic content has interfered with our work and cemented our reputation as a publication hostile to trans rights and trans employees"

I'm afraid I trust those hundreds of Guardian employees to know what they're talking about.

I'm not aware of the BBC publishing pieces saying whether something is bigoted or not. They tend to be very against that kind of thing. Have they made a statement, because I would be interested in reading it if so.

Very cool, if true
