How Metro lies to its readers
 |
Recently the Metro published a hit piece on me, dishonestly characterising my joining the dating app Her as an ‘anti-trans’ stunt. Of course, I did it to expose the fashionable homophobia of straight men invading lesbian spaces while claiming a lesbian identity. They could have found this out by contacting me for a comment. Instead, they merely stated they had contacted me, while not contacting me.
After people started calling them out on their dishonesty, Metro took the extremely ethical step of shutting down the comments section on the post, which remains up. Here are some of the comments they didn’t want their readers seeing.
If you would like to complain to Metro about their dishonesty, you can do it here. I’ve already written to IPSO and I’m considering my legal options as I have not yet received the apology and retraction I asked for by the end of the week.
Sorry to bang on about it, but this stuff has real-world consequences and I’m not letting it go.

Do not let it go. I think the edited the article with out saying they updated it SNEAKY. I was key word searching for ANTI TRANS and they have removed it all but one where they changed it to something like it is said he used anti trans rhetoric. Smash them up if you can
You only need to apologise for apologising to us about 'banging on' (not really 😉)
It's not possible for you to bang on as you're doing the legwork of hundreds of public figures who are too ensconced in their cushy world to use their platforms responsibly and morally. Fucking cowards.
