Haha I imagine there's going to be a string of hate crime reports to the police now.

MichelleScarn · 19/07/2021 15:28

Amazing! Need to go buy and subscribe now!

BaronMunchausen · 19/07/2021 15:28

Where exactly is it?

I bought the Times today, can’t find it.

TheHandmadeTails · 19/07/2021 15:26

Fantastic! The TRAs can protest by, er, cancelling the Times subscriptions they don’t have...

MummingIt2018 · 19/07/2021 15:23

It's an advert... Nothing to do with their editorial decisions.

MouseontheLouse · 19/07/2021 15:17

It's a paid for ad? Not an article?

peachescariad · 19/07/2021 15:14

Yep....there it is in black and white....the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth - bloody brilliant

Another one here who used to subscribe to the Guardian, and now gets the Times. I stopped paying for the Guardian a while ago as it went so American ID politics in general. Didn’t want to read an extended sixth form college opinion piece. But started subscribing to the Times when I saw that they were covering this topic like adults.

I dumped my Guardian sub this morning. It was through Apple so there was no way of saying why, so I plan to email later this evening to tell them how abhorrent I find their one-sided and misogynistic approach to trans rights issues. The Times has been a beacon of light by contrast.

Datun · 19/07/2021 14:36

That's brilliant. It's a genius move to quote the dictionary definition and then explain why some people find it offensive.

Especially as most people have not one single clue.

@Shedbuilder

I wonder who paid for the page? Really can't imagine the Times offering it for free. Is it Posie and Standing for Women?
It's a collaboration between Standing for Women and or Women Scotland.

As far as I know, it's in the Scottish version so that'll cause a few ructions in the ranks Grin

Awesome! Bring it on!

Megasausagehead · 19/07/2021 14:22

And apology no doubt

Gibbonsgibbonsgibbons · 19/07/2021 14:22

Oh my! DH is off to buy cold things (Also sweltering in Scotland!) so I shall add the times to his list Grin

And dig a bit more for FWS I always feel sure they put every penny to good use ♥️

SilverOak · 19/07/2021 14:21

Standing by for the inevitable backlash...

TabbyStar · 19/07/2021 14:20

Comments in The Times in general are pretty much unanimously agreeing that a woman is an adult human female. It's actually just a small but vocal section of the media that's been captured.

Roystonv · 19/07/2021 14:18

Brilliant

@PandorasMailbox

I know several people who've binned their Guardian subs to join the Times.
That's what I've done too. My 19 year old self would be horrified Grin.
Beowulfa · 19/07/2021 13:56

Wowsers. Will buy a copy on my way home.

MondayYogurt · 19/07/2021 13:50

I'm still reading/buying The Observer as they have a different take to the Guardian.
But yes, The Times and Sunday Times are more likely to go into the shopping basket these days.
