I dunno, most news sites seem pretty good at spreading anti trans propaganda on their own, usually quoting transphobes verbatim and even using their language when not quoting them.
Edit: Perhaps this was more correct some years ago
The comic is about the news reframing bad stuff said about trans people to not obviously be about us, and my comment is pointing out that I don’t often see this but rather see news gleefully fuel the anti-trans fire.
Edit: in fact your linked article is a great example. it specifically uses transphobic dogwhistles and uses languages that creates sympathy for the transphobes yelling about people minding their own business.
Edit 2.0: It occurs to me that you maybe thought I didn’t think there was much transphobia being pushed by the news these days, but by “this” I mean what the comic is saying and not what I am saying.
Please don’t overthink my response. Your second edit is spot on. Also I sometimes disagree slightly to push the discussion in an already agreed direction, and this is the case here. I hope this clears that up.

I mean this only happened two days ago. Skimming through the comments it seems like it was written by Matt Walsh; it was the BBC.
