The comic is about the news reframing bad stuff said about trans people to not obviously be about us, and my comment is pointing out that I don’t often see this but rather see news gleefully fuel the anti-trans fire.
Edit: in fact your linked article is a great example. it specifically uses transphobic dogwhistles and uses languages that creates sympathy for the transphobes yelling about people minding their own business.
Edit 2.0: It occurs to me that you maybe thought I didn’t think there was much transphobia being pushed by the news these days, but by “this” I mean what the comic is saying and not what I am saying.
Please don’t overthink my response. Your second edit is spot on. Also I sometimes disagree slightly to push the discussion in an already agreed direction, and this is the case here. I hope this clears that up.
I mean this only happened two days ago. Skimming through the comments it seems like it was written by Matt Walsh; it was the BBC.
