⚠️ 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 This is an unfair generalisation of 'mainstream media'. I see no reason why to distrust The Guardian, I only know their reporting as fair and balanced. It's my go-to news source for balanced climate change reporting, for example. We don't do decent journalists a favour if we toss them all on the same pile. We need less polarisation, not more.

More often than not, “I’ve only known X to be Y” should mark the beginning of introspection rather than its end.
