I think it is very useful to to put the more outrageous of the Guardian articles here which they will wish they had never printed at some point (hopefully soon) just in case they start deleting their history. Anyone know how get/keep the archived versions?

Let's start with "Hannah" - the 20 year old who plays as "Mother" guiding children in Roblox - a game for 6 year olds.

Luckily feminists have been archiving certain Guardian MRA TRA tweets for a while I think. They can tweet delete until the cows come home but women will remember. Women remember EVERYTHING.

the Guardian is really up itself as far as the TWAW issue is concerned. They deserve the mockery they get from Private Eye. Yes, you can now delete things more easily but at the same time they can be captured more easily, so they don't get forgotten.

This sneery obituary of Sarah Harding following her death from cancer at the age of 39.

"Roofer to midwife", an arsehole who decides to be a midwife even though he has no empathy with women ant thinks it's "sexism" for women to decline his care:

I’m 50 now and have encountered a certain amount of sexism in my career. I’ve had 118 people – mostly women – refuse to be cared for by me.

Is anyone actually archiving these? They could be taken down in future.

Wow. Keeping a tally of women who prefer a female midwife is fucking odd - a massive red flag - as is his description of this as sexism.

I don’t know what’s more concerning. The Guardian continuing to give this man column inches, or the fact the organisers of the Queen’s platinum jubilee see him as a “National Treasure”.

”What, me? Surely some mistake.”

Yes Peter, surely it is. But not because you’re a republican.

"Meanwhile, Hannah has taken on a mentoring role in her Discord groups, describing herself as a “mother” to her community. “So many of them struggle coming out, and I know what that’s like – how it feels to be scared,” she says. She advises them to explore their options early, opening up to parents if they will be accepting, in order to save years of potential suffering. She hopes younger players might learn from her own mistakes."

What's your issue with this?

What's your issue with this?

Perhaps the fact that this adult trans person is actively seeking out online interaction with children? It's not what they claim to be saying to the children it's the fact that this type of interaction is presented as innocent and wholesome when it's instigated by a trans person. Remember monroe bergdorf inviting children to DM them on Twitter which led to their removal as an NSPCC spokesperson? The whole 'glitter family' 'I'm your mom now' culture that exists within trans culture is active cover for groomers and abusers of children.

"A young person assigned male at birth."

A boy then. Boy is the word you're looking for. Whether you like it or not, "Hannah"

Some of these articles make me feel sick

Why would The Guardian print out of date information?

"In 2021, she began using the name "Lisa Shupe", and in 2022 published a statement that during her "detransition" she helped sell conversion therapy to the public while privately self-medicating with estrogen, which resulted in a life-threatening blood clot. She stated: "I also authored this to hopefully prevent these groups from further using me as a pawn in their vicious war, legislative and otherwise, against the transgender community. For the record, I have formally renounced my previous ties and allegiance to radical and gender-critical feminists, conservatives, and faith-based groups."[4] Shortly after in 2022, she received a legal name change to "Elisa Rae Shupe."
