Is this a message to his employer?

A bit rich coming from the Observer!

That's actually an excellent piece.

Is the Observer feeling OK?

Be interesting to know what their reaction was to the slating they got from their US counterparts on their horrendous transphobia.

The Observer isn’t anywhere near as in thrall to the TRAs as the Guardian. They occasionally display signs of sanity, such as this.

Well done Observer.

One Guardian leader advising caution when thinking about GRA reform is hardly what I'd call horrendous transphobia. I thought the US 'slating' was almost laughably over the top, given that one has to look hard to find any output even slightly gender-critical in the Guardian, with the honorable exception of Hadley Freeman.

Interesting.

I'd like him to give an example of an 'unreasonable argument' from the GC side in his opinion.

I've always liked the Observer, get it most weeks. Always intelligent, usually fairly balanced as far as i can judge, and well named.
Any chance of getting paid for that public compliment?

They share a website. Basically they're part of the same brand, are owned by the same people, and share offices, but they have different editors and staff.
