So, you created your account to *checks notes* post transphobic nonsense on HN?
Ignoring the lack of relevance, the title suggests a fact, when the piece it a matter of opinion. Whether you like it or not, sex and gender are not the same, and -- given you're making a UK focus -- you should consider that being trans isn't anything new, the Equality Act hasn't been a problem for the last 22 years, and you're just trying to stir up vitriol and hatred because of your absolutist and blinkered views -- all while FWIW claim they're neither "bigoted" or "transphobic" -- for folk whose singular internet trope is the "adult human female" definition, you seem to miss out on the definition of those other two words...
If you're going to be disingenuous, at least say something that is of relevance, and promotes discourse.
You cry about trans women being described as women, but you don't seem to have the same vitriol for attacking and denying trans men, or non-binary trans folks -- strange, that(!)
If you're going to complain about people being failed by the press, look at how trans people have been failed: https://edition.cnn.com/2021/10/09/uk/uk-trans-rights-gender-critical-media-intl-gbr-cmd/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2021/10/09/uk/uk-trans-rights-gender...
Heck, look at how much trans people have been dismissed by political hopefuls in the hopes of not attracting flak from your lot, claiming that accepting trans people exist, and their existences are valid, is somehow "anti-women." Nonsense.
