The Guardian's US Staff are Revolting

That article is a disgrace. As an ex daily Guardian reader of the print newspaper I hope they fold.

I think this demonstrates the fundamental problem at The Guardian. As a whole, they don't actually believe anything. Not in the sense of having a set of values that can be attached firmly to a way of conducting politics. They believe in right-thinking as delivered to them by the right kind of people. Their analysis seem to stop at the boundary of "be nice to people who we identify with".

In this new complicated political world where left-right, black-white, etc are breaking down, being a weathervane is a path to extinction for a newspaper.

The Guardian genuinely needs to look at its journalist recruitment policies.

And its editorial standards.

That article is an embarrassment.

I think people will carry on being recognisably male or female whatever the Guardian says.

And yes, fuck off, you American centric, totalitarian, Trump obsessed, clueless, black and white, goodies and baddies, religion v "progressive" woke halfwits. Out of our politics and far away. We're not interested in your views.

Am I missing something? The article is under the commentisfree banner but as far as I can see comments aren't open. Is it just me or can everyone else see the free flow of comments? Or are we being instructed to sit quietly while we absorb our lesson?

"Comment is free, except when we don't think it should be"

And facts are sacred? Haha. You're funny.

Guardian journalists in the US had no input in the editorial, which we felt was misplaced and misguided

It was an editorial about the GRA - a British law. Why on earth would they need input from the US journalists? Do the Americans think they should be making our laws for us now?

When I first read the thread heading, "The Guardian's US Staff Are Revolting," I took the last word to mean "rebelling" rather than "causing intense disgust; disgusting," which is how the Oxford (American) dictionary on my macbook defines "revolting."

Then I read the article & realized I was mistaken. The people who wrote it & their odious views are indeed revolting.

I sense the wheels are coming off the juggernaut...

That article is such a mess. It must be purposefully bad, surely? The British Graun are trying to break the TWAW bubble, so they're just going to keep publishing shit pro-trans articles until their readers truly wake up to this madness.

They cannot print something that poor and think it will convince people, surely?

I don't think that TWAW, but I could write a better TWAW article than that pile of shite.

Here's the thing.

If The Guardian is so transphobic, why don't these, ahem, journalists, resign?

Extraordinary. I think that entire thread was even more woke than I've ever seen before.

I'm baffled at how can you describe someone who has a male body without using the term male-bodied if that is outdated and offensive. I'm starting to think we'd best abandon language altogether and just communicate by using grunts and pointing

They really do want to create a kind of Orwellian newspeak in which it becomes impossible to even talk about women's sexed bodies as the material background to women's oppression. And they are choosing to do this at precisely the time Trump has finally managed to entrench a conservative anti abortion majority on SCOTUS with a view to overturning Roe vs Wade - a direct, patriarchal, overtly misogynist attack on women's ability to control their explicitly female reproductive biology.

What a load of old bollocks, honestly.

And why the hell is The Guardian publishing bollocks articles that offer no evidence for increasingly bonkers claims?

Just when you think The Guardian can't get any worse.

I can't believe I made it to the end of the piece.

Not just

Cis women's intolerance should not be a legitimate reason for limiting the rights of trans women.

but also

In the US, there is also growing mainstream recognition that phrases such as 'male-bodied' and claims that 'gender identity does not cancel out sex' are outdated and offensive.

Well, if they say so...

The UK staff are pretty unpleasant too.

Good. Let's have more rational newspapers look on and witness how pandering to the terminally woke leads to the self-destruction of a newspaper. Obviously it's a shame to see a long-standing newspaper destroy itself but The Guardian, as it stands and how it's heading, isn't that much of a loss.
