Many thanks for your reply. I'm a Guardian subscriber so I have a vested interest in knowing they have an appropriate stance on this.

I haven't noticed a transphobic attitude in their journalism (International edition). Not to say it doesn't exist, but I haven't yet encountered it.

I would be a bit hesitant about forming an opinion based on "opinion" pieces, in the Guardian or any publication. They're as worthless as the bytes they're printed on, and in the main rambling and painful to read. My take on opinion pieces (in any paper) is that they're not necessarily representative of the views of the publication, and are frequently more negatively emotive than what an actual article would be.

Thank you for your reply, it is appreciated.
