I was saddened to read that Suzanne Moore will no longer
be writing for the Guardian UK, someone I always jumped to read
when her striking gingermop picture appeared on the site. She was a
victim of cancel culture, encouraged to resign because of a lack of care
in defending a woman's group on the trans cancel list. Guilty
by association, as it where. Not cool, in mho!
The Guardian has a strong Web presence, and I can see the admin would
be sensitive to bad feelings. This, in fact, is one of the differences between
conventional media, and Web media. Once word gets around one is on the
grey list, readership - and adds - can suffer. But I am also sure the admin did not
seek this bad outcome, in part for the same reason. How strong or well-off is the
Trans lobby anyway.
The Biden administration is slowly being staffed in a 'representative and inclusive'
fashion. Creatives, on the other hand, keep their feathers. Let's not all get silly!!
