The Daily mail removes the always sleazy and morally corrupt Richard Littlejohn transphobic article after his target commits suicide #pressreform #LucyMeadows

Today there is the sad news that a Trans Women has committed suicide after being hounded by the Daily mail and some of its low brow readers who also had children at the school. Now it cannot be said that Richard Littlejohn is directly or even solely responsible but nor can it be denied that such senseless,  twisted and pointless attacks against someone in the national media and a difficult time in their lives would contribute to depression. Depression that ultimately lead to her suicide.

The Daily mails first reaction to this news was the delete the Richard Littlejohn article. This attempt to cover their tracks could be seen as admission that there article was an irresponsible attack on someone were there was no public interest. 

Unfortunately for the daily mail they are not up to speed with the internet and didn't realise that something like the wayback machine exists. So here is that disgraceful article in full, As you will see Richard Littlejohn will weep Crocodile tears for his victim and then proceed with a spew of sleaze and wicked thinking i will provide a small critique of some ofthe more repugnant parts of Littlejohn's venomous article.

"Nathan Upton is entitled to his gender reassignment surgery, but he [sic] isn't entitled to project his personal problems on to impressionable young children.

Good thing she didn't project and problems onto the children she taught and cared for. The Children will certainly be more tolerant understanding than Littlejohn and his followers, that sort of Bigotry needs to be learned.

By insisting on returning to St Mary Magdalen's, he [sic] is putting his [sic] own selfish needs ahead of the well-being of the children he [sic] has taught for the past few years.

in no way are children harmed by this only a twisted bigot would believe otherwise.

It would have been easy for him [sic] to disappear quietly at Christmas, have the operation and then return to work as 'Miss Meadows' at another school on the other side of town in September. No-one would have been any the wiser.

Yes, but why should she?

But if he [sic] cares so little for the sensibilities of the children he [sic] is paid to teach, he's not only trapped in the wrong body, he's [sic] in the wrong job [sick]."

Utter bullshit dishonesty is the only way to describe that. Richard Little John you are a sleazy man you personally are a greater threat these children than Lucy Meadows was.

There is also a petition for the daily mail to sack RichardLittlejohn, it's something they are unlikely to do as his brand of sleazy opinion fits them very well but you never know.

The petition organiser states: "No one deserves to have their lives turned upside down for their gender identity being thrown into the national spotlight.
"The reason the parents who had a problem went to the Daily mail is that there was no way to get her fired under equal opportunity law. So they tried to give the school bad press by saying how terrible it is that she is allowed to live her life freely."

This is ultimately what it comes down to Daily Mail Readers and writers all want to have control over others and when they can't they hound them in the public. I'm pretty sure that what they wanted was for her to resign rather than commit suicide but unfortunately this is too often the result of the bigotry and hatred shown by sleazy little dictators like Richard Littlejohn.  
Apart from a few aberrations children are for the most part born with greater compassion, understanding and caring than a lot of adults. It takes sleazy adults like Richard Littlejohn to teach them bigotry.

I will leave the final word to another transgender teacher who shows why it is highly likely that Richard Littlejohn has a lot to do with this suicide

"Richard - you missed me coming out as a transsexual primary teacher 2 years ago. Want to know my biggest fear - bigots like you in the media making a big thing of it. The children were told and everyone was very supportive of my decision and were full of understanding and compassion. The children were not phased by it and have readily accepted it. Parents were very supportive as well. Good luck to Lucy in her decision. I look forward to the day we can be left in peace.
