The editorial was an attempt to make sense of a growing debate about trans rights in the UK. Like cis women, trans women are subject to gendered violence and misogyny. We believe this framing reduces trans women and men to their body parts and anatomy, and it erases intersex and non-binary people. It was with that legacy in mind that our journalists who write and edit stories on LGBTQIA rights, women’s rights, politics, immigration, technology, business, criminal justice, gun policy and more decided to publicly voice our concern. And our 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.
