Very interesting tweet from Julie Blindel about the use of 'Cis' in the Graun Lifestyle mag.

Bet he’s burning all his Harry Potter books too. Poor little lamb.

Just seen this. Great news. More progress.

It also shows there's a lot more dissent on the left than the woke would have us believe.

All in all it's not been a good week for LOJ

I hope the removal of the Guardian is permanent

ArranUpsideDown · 19/12/2019 22:09

cis was in the style guide - I saw the fuss about it.

I hope the removal is permanent.

The style guide also states:

transgender, trans
Where relevant ...Avoid using the term transsexual unless someone specifically identifies as such.

Hmmm... they didn’t provide the same courtesy to non identifying ‘cis’ women - otherwise known as ’women’ - in case anyone is confused

Hypocrites

-they’ve removed it! It was definitely there yesterday when I saw JB’s original tweet admonishing the Guardian’s style guide

Let watch out for the next related article

ThePurported · 19/12/2019 19:40

Where did JB get this?

No serious newspaper should be using expressions like 'cisgendered'. It doesn't do anything to their credibility, and we really don't need an additional descriptor to differentiate us from males, dysphoric or otherwise. 'Woman' is fine.
Although I did notice that Guardian referred to Yaniv as 'a woman with male genitalia', so they still have some work to do on this front Hmm

RoyalCorgi · 19/12/2019 19:37

The Guardian's style guide is online. It seems not to mention "cis" at all, as far as I can see.

I cancelled my digital sub that day. Wonder if they saw a drop or was it purely about staff/reader feedback?

youllhavehadyourtea · 19/12/2019 18:54

wonder if this article was the last straw?

That’s incredible, if it’s true. I would believe it, if it wasn’t for the JK story, where they’ve tried desperately to paint her as a bigot who supports a bigot. However way they try to spin that story, the readers will still be thinking, “but people are the sex they’re born as, no matter what they call themselves”.

sorry - pic of Julie's tweet attached.

Would love some clarification of the new style sheet at the Guardian.

Very interesting tweet from Julie Blindel about the use of 'Cis' in the^Graun Lifestyle mag.

it's more than the mag - its the style sheet for the Guardian - so should be across the whole publication!

They ultimately need to shift papers or get people to “donate” online. Follow the money. They may have noticed at least 50% are likely to be women. Educated ones who are paying attention.

“Winning” Twitter and losing the election may have concentrated a few minds too.
