Oh look. it's "two cis people having a conversation about trans people" day again in the Guardian, who hell are the trans women pushing anything in the media (other than D Hateon on GBeebies)

The big beef
Steph Andrew kept telling me that he thought people needed to be allowed to have a debate. It took a very long time to get him to admit he was talking about trans people; he kept saying “woke culture”. This has been overblown by the media and weaponised to sow division. All trans people want is to be safe, have access to medical treatment and not be on the end of the violence this has stirred up. Otherwise, the issue is irrelevant to most people’s lives.

Andrew She was saying: “They just want to be left alone.” But I find it’s mainly trans women in the media pushing forward the agendas. You rarely see a trans man complaining. The changing language, pronouns – I’m not against that, I just feel it’s going to take a long time to change people. Staff saying, “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,” on the train, and being disciplined for excluding non-binary people – that’s going over the top.

Don't see trans men... Is that because all the hate is directed at trans women? (Actually, we do see trans men, as well, but not as often)

I presume they've immediately signed him up for his own column, right?

Staff being disciplined for saying ‘Ladies and gentlemen’? That’s full on ‘these days if you say you’re English…’

Andrew is just making stuff up to be outraged about. Are these disciplined train staff in the room with us now, Andrew? What a fucking tiresome idiot.

Making shit up that didn't happen. Blaming trans women. Erasing Trans men. Wow they ticked all the boxes in just a few sentences. Amazing.. True brittish efficiency right there.
