How Italy’s Manuela Giugliano captured gay hearts across Brazil
The 2019 Women's World Cup saw a surge in popularity, with stars like Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, and Marta gaining attention. Italian midfielder Manuela Giugliano became an online sensation, especially among Brazilian LGBTQ+ fans, after winking at the camera during a match. Her social media following skyrocketed as a result, with many fans expressing their admiration on Instagram and Twitter. Giugliano, who is in a relationship with Ambra Capotosto, has won over a new fanbase, regardless of her team's future in the World Cup.
Trans Rights and Public Opinion
The article discusses the results of a YouGov survey on the UK public's opinions on transgender rights and issues. The survey, conducted between December 16th and 17th, reveals that Labour voters, Lib Dems, Remainers, and young people are more supportive of trans rights, while Conservatives, Leavers, and older people are less so. The majority of the public supports trans women using women's facilities and trans people being assigned to prisons based on their legal gender. The survey also highlights that support for trans rights is not limited to middle-class urbanites, with only slight differences in support between social classes. Notably, women are shown to be more supportive of trans rights than men, contradicting anti-trans groups' claims that men are the main supporters of trans women. The article emphasizes that rights should not be subject to public opinion, but acknowledges the importance of these results in countering the narrative that women are opposed to trans rights.
Trans rights are human rights
The article discusses the problematic nature of Graham Linehan, a writer and director known for his work on British sitcoms, who has become an active voice against the transgender community, particularly trans women. The author criticizes Linehan's stance and highlights the hypocrisy of gender-critical feminists who support him. The article also addresses the negative impact of organizations like Get the L Out and media outlets such as The Mail on Sunday, which spread misinformation and harmful stereotypes about transgender individuals. The author emphasizes the importance of cisgender allies, particularly cis lesbians, in supporting trans women and countering transphobic narratives. The article also touches on the challenges faced by transgender students in schools and the need for better support and understanding from educators.
