BREAKING: PinkNews refuses to cover trans issues on the basis it jeopardises ad revenue and is "contentious".
While Transgender lives in the UK and US are at risk, PinkNews abandons its transgender readers.
In a bombshell leak from @PinkNewsStaff on X, Pink News' CEO Benjamin Cohen has been recorded signalling his intent to abandon the trans community to instead focus on being an “entertainment powerhouse”.
In the leaked recording Benjamin is captured stating "We have to be careful." "It's the role of others to change narratives", going on to further say that covering transgender issues will cause them to lose advertisers.
This revelation comes two weeks after pinknews removed their trans category from the website.
@PinkNewsStaff joined X in May 2024 and has been releasing several other allegations about the outlet, claiming there is a toxic culture of bullying, harassment and discrimination at PinkNews.
Leaked audio in the linked article.
Sometimes the Onion misses, but when they hit, they fuckin hit.
He called covering trans issues "charity". What a piece of shit. A-gay drop-the-t behavior.
It's self sabotage too - once you start splintering off pieces of the movement for liberation it's only a matter of time until you're the only one left and they come for you next.
This goes doubly because trans communities can be fairly well organized. I often see a very strong trans presence in queer spaces simply because we need to make up lack in numbers with determination and because we feel a stronger pressure to defend ourselves.
This is what pinkwashed capitalism gets us. I wonder if he's aware that the same advertisers will drop cis gay gossip outlets playing into respectability politics as well once transphobia has been used as a door opener to roll back the incredibly recent, still incomplete denormalization of homophobia, or if he's just the average corporate ghoul who can't think past the next three month's KPIs.
Gunning for the kapo position in the camps
unbelievable levels of cringe

I'm sorry, the pig fucker or is this some other unfortunately named fellow?
The pig fucker himself I'm afraid
Besides being spineless and pathetic, if I've learned anything about the Internet it's that the machine literally runs on outrage. If you are a lightning rod for outrage, you're a lightning rod for money. Think about the payout Imane Khelif is about to get from terf woman and divorced science dad. People cannot get enough being mad. You have the perfect machine for it in the Internet. People need to take breaks from making millions on the Internet because they get so fucking mad so fucking often they need to go touch grass. People spend billions and billions trying to get people to look at them while they're getting mad. And you're telling me you're getting hits on "contentious content" and you're upset about it? It jeopardizes ad revenue? GET NEW AD REVENUE! IT'S THERE! BLUE CHEW TOOK OUT ADS ON THE CUM TOWN PODCAST AND YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU CANT GET A RAID SHADOW LEGENDS TO SPONSOR PINK NEWS? GET AN INTERN TO SEND AI GENERATED LETTERS TO POTENTIAL SPONSORS. YOU HAVE A HOT COMMODITY AND YOU'RE THROWING IT IN THE GARBAGE.
All you'd need to do is open a comments section under your articles and give an ally mod powers (give them $200/mo and never look at it again to avoid every headache) and you'd get infinity traffic to your website - enjoy your yacht.

Is there a good site for queer news that isn't ran by terfs?
based
https://www.erininthemorning.com/ seems good from what i can tell. she focuses particularly on trans legislation.
Erin is usually the most thorough source for the US, i hope somebody can name a comparable British outlet as well given that it's on the forefront of fighting against trans rights in the imperial core and has some of the most openly transphobic journalists even outside of conservative sites.
Will check her out.Thanks!
There's Xtra, it's Canada based but it covers some American stuff too, and it doesn't shy away from trans issues.
Cool will use this going forward. I didn't browse pinknews that much but I'd just rather avoid products ran by bigots where I can.

pink news is based on terf island, they simply want the terf money
How are you gonna be a news site and not cover news? It's in the name. Trans news is news, and if anything trans news is highly related to other news. Often other news is news-ing because of Trans news.
Fucking liberals.
The Stalin stache makes this so much better
That's what you get for making things political, sweetie.
🍷🍷 
the T in UlyssesT stands for Transrights
cis white gay men once again being the worst fuckin allies
7 times out of ten they are the most pathetic nazis.
they still teach Niemöller's poem I assume, but it sure seems like liberals don't understand it
EVERYBODY IN, NOBODY OUT.
To be fair, Niemöller did support Hitler.
And pink news is what exactly?
And pink news is what exactly?
Especially now,
covering transgender issues will cause them to lose advertisers.
Capitalist booklicker shit
Cooling effect intensifies
I hope this rag burns the fuck down then
I saw some of their articles a few years ago and I knew something was off
hexbear should create a new site called PinkoNews
It seems like the owners have been scum for a long time too. Apparently the faked having POC content contributors for years after they left (some calling the management culture racist when they did) by reposting old videos with black creators but having white people write articles under the same bylines in order to defraud a fund that donated to media orgs featuring black content creators...
fuck assimilationists, fuck bootlickers, fuck libs, and fucking down with cis
What’s next? My beloved site Hexbear turns out to be full of libs so as not to alienate porky?
hexbear will eventually become an adhoc linkedin networking site
Uuuuuuh…
Idpol is a dead-end. We don't need representation or validation. We need to be left alone to live our lives in peace.
Sorry, i can't take anybody using idpol as a buzzword seriously. I just can't. That's silly reactionary nonsense that muddles the waters between performative liberal pseudo-allyship and actually useful approaches like intersectional marxism.
to me
