    The @Guardian published an editorial about trans rights that many @GuardianUS staff felt was transphobic. Nearly all reporters and editors from our US offices wrote to UK editors with our concerns. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/nov/02/guardian-editorial-response-transgender-rights-uk … me w/ @MonaChalabi + @SabrinaSiddiqui

        The editorial argued trans rights “collide” with cis women’s rights; that equality for trans women “could adversely affect other women”; and that allowing trans women to access public spaces threatens cis women’s “safety”. This is unsubstantiated. Here's what studies showpic.twitter.com/JEqFCSGZCd

        Phrases such as “male-bodied” and claims that “gender identity does not cancel out sex” are outdated and offensive.pic.twitter.com/MwdhXnGqCZ

        Trans women behind bars face severe abuse, and we believe these harms should drive the conversation on trans prisoners’ rights. My colleague @Edpilkington's excellent 2015 feature on California prisons exposed this kind of rampant mistreatment + violence:https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/26/transgender-woman-inmate-prison-michelle-norsworthy …

        "Cis women’s intolerance should not be a legitimate reason for limiting the rights of trans women. The idea that all trans women should be denied civil rights because a trans woman might someday commit a crime is the essence of bigotry." - response from cis women of @GuardianUS

        Statistics show alarming rates of harassment, violence + discrimination trans people face. Chart from my colleague @MonaChalabi. But as we said, "Rights aren’t based on numbers, they’re based on the belief that everyone deserves the same basic freedoms." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jul/28/transgender-military-ban-trump-data …pic.twitter.com/OMkYyZJjyk

        Journalism should be grounded in the principle that trans women are women, and that trans people should have the right to feel safe to live as themselves.

        I've thought this for a while. I can't work out why the UK centre-left should be so transphobic; the same is not true in other countries, as far as I'm aware.

        Thank you for taking a stand on an issue where frankly The Guardian's editorial shamed the paper.

        I've been increasingly uneasy over the past year seeing the Guardian demonstrate an outright antagonism toward trans people. It's a little relieving to know that the US branch not only opposes it, but is principled enough to stand against it. Good on you, peeps. Thanks for this
