Cohen’s column had been paused since July pending the outcome of an investigation into allegations against him. Meanwhile, in January long-time Observer columnist Nick Cohen resigned from the paper on “ health grounds“. Both journalists have argued against trans women’s ability to freely enter women’s spaces. In October Press Gazette reported long-serving Guardian columnist Hadley Freeman was leaving the paper to join The Sunday Times – the week after fellow Guardian contributor Sarah Ditum made the same move. In June 2022 two more trans journalists said they were pulling out of The Guardian’s Pride coverage because of “ingrained prejudice against trans women” at the paper. Guardian columnist Suzanne Moore left the following year, saying she felt “bullied” by a letter signed by 338 colleagues criticising a “pattern of publishing transphobic content” at GNM. In August 2019, two trans staff members at The Guardian quit the paper, accusing it of transphobic reporting.

Wong is the latest in a series of staff to prominently depart The Guardian and Observer. The reprimand, coupled by the lack of a reply to his complaint, appears to have prompted Wong to resign.Īsked underneath his tweet what was “wrong with the Observer”, Wong responded: “Institutionalised transphobia.”Ī GNM spokesperson said in response:”James has been a gardening columnist with the Observer for seven years. Wong said on Saturday he had been told by an editor that the tweet breached “my requirement to ‘abide by social media guidelines’ and ‘this is a serious matter’”. That tweet appears to have put Wong on the wrong side of GNM’s social media policy, which tells its journalists “it is never acceptable to criticise colleagues on social media either directly or indirectly”. On Twitter, Wong said at the time: “As a columnist at the Observer, I have written to them to express my shock. Russell-Moyle said he would complain about the article to The Observer, which is self-regulated, and invited others to do so (although GNM told Press Gazette subsequently that no complaint was received from the MP). Both MPs have criticised the Government’s decision to use a section 35 order to prevent Scotland creating a self-identification system for people looking to change their legal gender. The article prompted some online criticism of Bennett for appearing to compare Labour MPs Lloyd Russell-Moyle and Ben Bradshaw to Tate over their stances on trans rights and the way they have criticised female MPs. Program director - Katt D.Tate is a self–described misogynist currently detained in Romania over allegations of human trafficking.
