They’re trying to girlbossify the pervert glasses, we’re maybe 6 months away from Reese Witherspoon arguing that more women should be covertly filming strangers, for feminism

Several reports said that the bullets at the Charlie Kirk shooting had symbols of “transgender ideology” engraved on them, which were apparently arrows. I present to you:

Researching gender affirming care centres for a piece I'm working on and this being the first "other asked question" on google has really sent me over the edge

A lot of anger about this graphic not showing "all the medals and places on teams stolen from women" which 1) they aren't stolen, and 2) it's the same graphic

One in The Observer, two in The Times, and six (!) in the Telegraph. Six were opinion pieces, three were news stories. Of the opinion pieces, four were actively praising Trump for his human-rights-violating executive orders.

The one thing I couldn’t fit into my piece on Emilia Pérez is that it has the same energy as the episode of the Simpsons when they go to Australia and it’s all the usual cast attempting Aussie accents, but played deadly serious

This second paragraph is pretty damning too, no evidence just “concerns”

The use of "transgenderism" should also be deeply concerning, it is a non-word exclusively used by people who want to undermine trans people. A Google search flags the word as derogatory. This is how Meta is publicly saying it sees queer people.
