In the days when the Guardian used to allow comments on articles about the trans issue, a lot of us had the experience of having our entirely polite comments deleted.
Then they stopped allowing comments on trans stuff - except when they mention trans stuff in their live politics blog, which is always open to comments.
Someone on Twitter took screenshots of comments earlier this week on the Scottish bill that were subsequently deleted by Guardian mods. They are all perfectly polite, reasonable, gender-critical comments. But comments offensively accusing gc people of being funded by the Christian right etc were allowed to stand.
They really are beyond hope.

The Guardian censoring comments

Even the mildest criticism of gender ideology is ruthlessly deleted by the Guardian moderator's. Misogynistic slurs are untouched.
I've never encountered it with any other issue.

Exactly. This is so fucking dishonest from the Guardian. I wonder what the old-timers of the Women's Page would think if they saw it now.
The only small upside is, I feel quite content in blithely ignoring their begging letters! 😀

No wonder Hadley left.
