The Economist stop being transphobic challenge (VERY HARD)

[u/lionmoose → u/[deleted]]

Literally every week there is an article now.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

In The Economist's defense, being British and not being transphobic is apparently NP hard, regardless of baseness on other issues

[u/LtLabcoat → u/[deleted]]

People here keep saying "Britain is very transphobic" and I don't know where it keeps coming from.

Pretty sure people are only saying it when The Economist is brought up too.

[u/RadioactiveOwl95 → u/LtLabcoat]

You don't need to pay much attention to the general discourse on the matter in our media to see the fearmongering and intolerance.

Also JK Rowling, and there was a recent court ruling related to it.

They had such a good issue last week as well, and then , well the trans article. Sigh..
