PSA: the guardian is not working on a hit piece on diy hrt, and claims they are are misinformation

on the 18th, this post appeared on 4chan's /lgbt/ (slurs in thread: link). a screenshot was posted to reddit, then to tumblr. you've probably seen it:

today, the 23rd, another screenshot popped up on various discord servers, then was reposted variously to twitter. it shows a supposed email from guardian journalist and notorious TERF Susanna Rustin, claiming as the original 4chan post does.

it's now been shared around, and it's with good intentions. the message is useful: don't share your personal information or medical data with journalists, especially ones that happen to be TERFs.

but the post does this through misinformation and fearmongering. i'm still waiting on my response by email from Rustin, but she's reiterated twice (once, twice) that she did not write the email and is not working on such a story. on the 19th, i talked to other guardian newsroom journalists, who said they also did not know of a story's existence.

the moral of the story: this is misinformation, and it's dangerous. it spreads a fine message here, but it does it through spreading anxiety and terror.

you can follow along with this post on my parallel thread on twitter. also calling on @wakewithgiggli to delete their original post!

#i did wonder why so many posts about “dont talk to the media about diy hrt” were popping up #its a good message anyway #if this was your reminder; might be good to get reminded of it #even if its misinformation #idk #kewl to kkow though. so thank you

I'll never understand people using "it looks like a PS2 game" as an insult. Bitch, this is PEAK aesthetic

Having a therapist who isn't used to trans patients will truly have you feeling like Koko the gorilla trying to articulate your feelings in a coherent way. "No peepee huge honkers, I cry? Huge honkers no peepee, sadness, doctor."

A guy with a giant suitcase boarded the bus today without waiting for me to get off (the front is the only accessible exit), and tried to shove his way past me to get on.

I literally blocked his way, looked at him, and went "I need to get off." I made his ass back all the way back off the bus to let me out.

I do not care how able-bodied you are or how authoritatively you try to move. I need this exit, and I'm going to use it. The bus will still be here after I do, I promise.

"I paid for that law degree myself, thinking it'll probably turn her all fancy, but hell, Harry -- she came back a firebrand socialist! Sometimes she even scares *me* with her zeal."
