Twisted Tabloid Transgender Terror Tryst
Senior executives from the scumbag press are to meet with a transgender campaign group. After a scientist was gored by a stag, the Sun, the Daily Mail and even a couple of newspapers made much of her transgender status; partly no doubt because of the alliterative qualities in sex swap scientist and the penetrating symbolism of the incident, but mainly no doubt because they genuinely believed they were acting in the public interest by splattering aspects of the lady's private life across the national media. The Press Complaints Commission held a polite meeting, after which it was agreed that the coverage had been inappropriate; and the Sun is sending a deputation to meet with All About Trans, a project dedicated to communication between transgender people and the infotainment industry. Presumably both sides are expecting a freak-show of some kind, although it seems likely that only the transgender people will get one.
