âIt suddenly became real,â one trans staff member told BuzzFeed News. âIâm entering this building with people who are denying my humanity.â
A transgender employee of The Guardian â which once called itself the âworldâs leading liberal voiceâ â has resigned accusing the newspaper in an email to staff of being âan incredibly transphobic organisationâ.
In a cutting resignation letter sent last month, the employee said the paper âfundamentally not only stands against my own values but also against what I amâ. A second staff member resigned weeks later, also citing the âharmâ they say the newspaper is doing to trans people.
Following the leak of the email to BuzzFeed News, the trans employee, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said she felt complicit in the newspaperâs âtransphobicâ reporting by continuing to work there, and revealed the damaging effect the Guardianâs coverage of transgender people has had on her wellbeing. This included fear of using the womenâs toilet at work.

For Victoria, the turning point came in October 2018 when the Guardian published what became a notorious editorial â a leader article setting out its official position on trans rights â which, it said, âcollideâ with womenâs rights and put women at risk. This was despite LGBT organisations and many prominent feminists and womenâs groups asserting the opposite.
But Victoriaâs immediate concern was that she had to go to work the next day, knowing what her employerâs publicly-stated position was on her. âIt suddenly became real,â she said, before characterising her thought process that morning: âIâm entering this building with people who are denying my humanity.â
Victoria said that when she first transitioned, years ago, âI would be freaked out about toilets and would walk in very quickly, just run to the stall and run back,â but following the article written by colleagues, âI started doing that in the Guardian.â
She raised concerns about the editorial with her line manager who promised to take it further, but, Victoria said, âI never heard anything more from it.â The daily morning conference would have also provided an opportunity to respond to the editorial but Victoria feared a hostile reception. âI thought, âIâm not walking in that room, me, alone against this bunch of people to discuss this. I think they understand perfectly what they are doing. Thereâs power in that room and power differences â we are not all equals.â
Shortly after, during two separate incidents at informal drinks with colleagues, one member of staff who had previously been Victoriaâs friend at work defended the article, she said, and began citing trans women in sports as a reason to attack trans rights. Another colleague, she said, âpoked funâ at her, asked if she was trans, and told her, âIf you went to prison Iâm not sure which prison you should go to.â

Before accepting her job two years ago, Victoria said she thought she could help change things at the Guardian, and hoped it was not prejudice informing the position of some there but rather a lack of knowledge. While she found the latter to often be the case there remains âa group of powerful people who are transphobicâ at the organisation, âwho have an agenda to pushâ, she said.

I SIGNED A PETITION TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. IF I HAVE EVER DONE ANYTHING IN MY LIFE, IT WAS TO HELP TURN THIS ONE PARK IN VANCOUVER CANADA INTO DUDE CHILLING PARK
good morning I just woke up obsessed with the idea of a movie filmed in the style of a true crime documentary except itâs in the Twilight universe and a bunch of completely ordinary humans are trying to figure out why Bella effectively disappeared after high school without knowing anything about vampires
letâs review the Facts of the Case as far as anyone whoâs not in on the secret knows them
super normal teenage girl moves to small town
becomes obsessed with a guy who by all appearances is in a cult
the incident where they dramatically broke up and Bella tried to go back to Phoenix but Edward followed her and they got back together but also Bellaâs leg got mysteriously broken
another dramatic breakup and this time the entire family skips town leaving Bella catatonically depressed
sudden trip to Italy??? and then the entire family comes back???
Whatever Happened In Eclipse I Donât RememberÂ
Bella marries boyfriend of approx. a year and a half, goes away on an exotic vacation and immediately contracts a life threatening disease
is rarely seen in public again until her mysterious death, which if Iâm remembering correctly is a thing?? because Bella was pretty sure her mom wouldnât be able to handle the vampire thing and that they were going to have to fake a death which is!! fucked UP
also apparently the Cullens havenât ever bothered with, like, changing their names, so if anyone goes poking around theyâre easily going to discover a family of seven rich weirdos moving around various overcast cities together for at least a centuryÂ
generic Missing White Woman opening that rapidly spirals into interviews Bellaâs hilarious tacky high school classmates talking shit about the Cullens (Mike Newtonâs Time To Shine)
Charlie (who Knows) uncomfortably lying to the camera about how of course heâs Very Sad about all of this and misses his daughter a whole lot. the crew immediately begins speculating about Charlieâs involvement.
a few scenes shot in Italy. the voice over concludes that there are no clues to be found there while a Volturi member hovers very obviously in the background for the audienceâs enjoymentÂ
testimonies about Carlisleâs character that end with the interviewee getting distracted thinking how hot he was, including CharlieÂ
a segment trying to figure out what the Fuck Jacobâs involvement is followed by a montage of werewolves slamming their front doors in the crewâs faces
a brief mention of the murder spree that happened in Seattle during Bellaâs senior year but quickly shrugging it off as DEFINITELY unrelated to any of thisÂ
trying to dig into where the Cullens lived before Forks and quickly realizing that None Of These Children Existed Before the Age of Seventeen
briefly toying with a kidnapping scenario before stumbling onto a record of the Cullens in some other town thatâs JUST old enough to be inconsistent with the ages they were supposed to be in Forks
âwait I think all the kids were actually in their twenties, maybe?â
*washing machine beating noises come from behind the door at a steady rhythm*
*door creaks slightly as its opened*
