    1. As a former @Guardian writer, I have been heartbroken and appalled at the transphobic pattern at the paper, most recently seen in a column by @suzanne_moore. What is going on over there, @KathViner? It is heartbreaking, cruel & lethally irresponsible.https://www.buzzfeed.com/patrickstrudwick/guardian-staff-trans-rights-letter …

        2. The @guardian @GuardianUS playbook is to shut down convos 👇🏾when ppl speak up internally about injustice. I should know: When Trump was elected & US staff were called to a mtg to ask what we wanted to talk about, I raised my alarm all Black writers but me had been laid offpic.twitter.com/MGQdXJvPz4

        3. When I raised that issue, the Guardian US editor, @lee_glend ended the meeting so we couldn’t talk about how all the Black writers on contact had been let do. Well, I don’t write there anymore so we ARE going to talk about the systemic axe the Guardian has w trans ppl.

        4. Let me say, as a scholar of this stuff, Hadley Freeman & Suzanne Moore don’t understand the biology they believe to be so deterministic. They simply aren’t up to the science. But why are these writers w seeming lifelong tenure have such beef with trans ppl just for LIVING?

        5. And what IS THIS, @KathViner @AnnetteKThomas1?! There is no “wide range of view” on if trans ppl exist and deserve our full respect and support, full stop! What next? A “divisive” column on if we Black people are human? Should we Black people still be enslaved?pic.twitter.com/DUOpq1MdqE

        6. The Guardian ought to no more be publishing op eds arguing for gay conversion therapy than it should publish the questioning of the gender identity & humanity of transgender people. This has been going on for too long, @KathViner—shame on mgmt, and kudos to the 338 signers.

        7. It is ironic @KathViner is telling staff not to criticize colleagues’ views they don’t agree with, when the paper PUBLISHES columnists criticizing trans colleagues’ very right to live and work safely!

        8. And it is disappointing, if unsurprising, when liberal papers like the @guardian muzzle dissent & suppress the speech of ~their own writers~ who try to defend trans people, some of the most unfairly maligned people in US & UK society!

        9. Kath, when you made me US writer at large, you challenged me to do the best work of my life challenging racism in America. Your 338 staff (& all of them) need you to challenge transphobia in the Guardian. You believed in me—and I believe you can rise to this challenge.

        10. A final thought—the Guardian was founded as the paper of a labor strike. So kudos to the staff taking a moral stand about their working conditions & the conditions of their fellow workers. Your 1821 ancestor founders would be damn proud!

        11. Oh, & I remembered this AM that the last piece the Guardian ever asked me write (after I'd left) was on the "unenlightened black homophobe" trope. Can't publish about homophobia when you also practice & publish transphobia, y'all.https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/dec/08/kevin-hart-oscars-host-unenlightened-black-homophobe-trope …
