⚠️ It's a trap ⚠️ (please boost for reach)

I was just informed that the Guardian (UK) is prepping to do a story on DIY HRT and is looking to interview trans folk, particularly teens.

The story will almost certainly be weaponized by conservatives to argue for removing access to the necessary materials.

Just like with the police, anything you say can and will be used against you by mainstream media.

Be safe out there fam

Update #2: God dammit Guardian US, I retract my kudos to you. This is why we can't have nice things.

Update #1: I wanted to share this article that was brought to my attention. The US Guardian wrote a piece that really gets to the heart of why I'm sounding a warning, while also helping to frame that this isn't directed at the .com Guardian—they seem to have a healthy viewpoint on how trans people should be treated.

The Guardian view on the Cass report: rising numbers of gender distressed young people need help

Editorial: The review of England’s child transgender health service is not a full stop in the debate but part of a continuing conversation

The Guardian
@alice Also see: how Finnster was railroaded by The Times.

@aparna Wait, what happened to Finnster? This is the first I'm hearing of it.

@aparna @siderea @alice
No idea this happened.
Finn used to appear in my recommended Twitter and YouTube feeds.

I listen to TimesRadio from late-morning to afternoon during weekdays for the right-wing takes. They've upped their "coverage" of trans issues recently, with what felt like a whole day (last Wednesday or Thursday, I think). I learn a lot about the "gender critical" proponents ... but I can never remember their names, they all blur into one (except Sharron Davies).
