TERF ideology is properly taking root in “respectable” circles over in the US now as well it seems.
Same goes for Germany. Almost all major private news outlets suddenly harbor a TERF nest or at least one unhinged LGB drop the T boomer. Fortunately state-funded media isn't on board with it, so people like my mom constantly get exposed to pro-trans content, and our new government in spite of all its flaws is at least decently pro-LGBT, but all liberal news sites just love to have my right to exist discussed in the marketplace of ideas.
Spiegel is a particularly bad offender. They have some unhinged bastard called Sebastian Hammelehler who did Peterson's latest rant before Peterson, whining about how it's literally 1984 when he's not allowed to deadname Elliot Page. Under his watch, they constantly sneak dogwhistles into their articles, really twisted shit. Now that our laws for name and legal gender changes are about to get reformed so they finally drop the dehumanizing gatekeeping we had to put up with, they publish opinion pieces about how access to HRT should now be made harder. And that's a liberal newspaper, not some chud rag. It's so disgusting,they're such ghouls, they are enemies of the people. All they do is warmonger and fuel culture war controversies when they could use their position to educate people, to make the world a bit better, but no. i'm so very tired of this shit.
