When I say there's an anti-trans bias in the British press, I don't mean they're using "facts I don't like", I mean that the British press is well-known by the trans community for sensationalizing, fear-mongering, and spinning stories to paint trans people in a negative light.

See for yourself.

Is your argument that other journalistic outlets reported on the supposed anti-transness of the british press?

e/ for clarity, I do not mean to imply that there is NO anti-trans bias. But I want to get a concrete engagement on the subject as a evidence/clue, not a corporate created algorithm.

I am showing that it was bad enough that a media outlet's American branch felt it necessary to point out. I don't need any media company to report on anti-trans bias in the British press, I can read and see it for myself. If you can't see it after doing some reading for yourself, then you and I are not operating with a shared definition of what it means to have an anti-trans bias. There's nothing supposed about it. It's there in black and white.
