Julia Carrie Wong, a US based reporter for the Guardian news outlet, claimed that anyone expressing dissent from ‘the message’ is a bigot and that “transphobia is one of the most potent entry points to fascism.”

Wong was quickly taken to task by Twitter users who questioned why a news reporter was pushing her opinions on her 59,300 Twitter followers.

That’s not ok, but it is seemingly fine for Wong to call people that don’t agree with her view ‘fascists’ though.
‘It’s ok when we do it.’
