This is the damage that legitimising transphobic groups does.
If this was a story about a man harassing a gay person for their identity, it would be framed as a homophobic attack.
Transphobes have been allowed frame trans rights as open for debate, and the media frames it as activist vs activist.

The fact that he was found guilty of criminal damage doesn't make the headline, and the person whose property he damaged is described as a "transgender activist" but Linehan has "well-publicised strong views on gender issues". 🙄
This is not journalism failing trans people - it's failing EVERYONE.

The UK's Supreme Court has ruled that the Christian religious education taught in schools in the North is unlawful.
It added that to teach pupils to 'accept a set of beliefs without critical analysis amounts to evangelism, proselytising, and indoctrination'.

Christian religious education taught in schools in Northern Ireland unlawful, says UK Supreme Court

Ah here, have another #painting. "Ormond Quay" was done 3 years ago. I based it on a lifetime of loving Dublin City's quays. I like buildings, squares, rectangles, right angles, that sort of thing, and my head is full of them all the time. Sometimes they come out like this. #ArtYear #SpeirGhorm
