Non-Binary Food Writer Jack Monroe has 20 corrections for this transphobic Daily Mail article
The recurrently transphobic and generally bigoted online arm of the Daily Mail recently published an article in which they consistently misgendered Monroe and referred to them coming out as non-binary transgender as a “setback”.
Jack Monroe has 20 corrections for their 8 line article.
Dear Daily Mail,
I don’t know how you generally kickstart your working week, but at 6am on a Monday morning I’m just about hanging in to my last REM cycle before being woken up by a 5 year old, to begin the email flails and checklists that have gathered in my inbox from the last midnight-on-Sunday clearout.
I get up, meditate, do some morning yoga, lift some weights and pop a fat scoop of protein shake, a slug of coconut cream, peanut butter and two shots of coffee in my blender – adept by now at making whey protein taste like something remotely palatable. It’s like a peanut butter mocha. You’re welcome.
This morning I woke up at 0515 to a flurry of emails – Google alerts and missives from concerned friends and readers – and I groaned as I clicked the link, mentally steeling myself for the staggering lies and inaccuracies I knew would be on the other side. It seems your ‘deputy diary editor’ Richard Eden, who impertinently emailed me on a Sunday lunchtime to try to link my personal life with my transition, doesn’t actually speak to the ‘diary person’, Seb Shakespeare. How very odd. So, for the avoidance of any doubt, I enclose the email conversation that looks like it wasn’t passed along the amoeba chain. (#NotAllAmoeba)
And so, blow by blow, here’s all the shit you managed to get wrong in a surprisingly short diary piece. Some of my readers will ask why I’m bothering to do this. Because someone cannot lie about me with impunity on a public platform, and expect not to be called out on it. And absolutely cannot lie about someone I love, and expect not to be called a shitbag for it. For avoidance of doubt, Richard Eden and Seb Shakespeare, you are shitbags. Fetid rumour-mongering turdy little trolls festering in the gangrenous gossip-column scrotum of the internet.

If there were a DNA test to see if a baby is gay in the womb, would Christians be for, or against, aborting it?
And on your right, children, we have shots being fired and minds being fucked
Dear Americans,
Please stop using Daily Mail articles. Stop citing them as sources. Just stop.
Its cool, you don’t know these things. That’s alright. But seriously listen for a sec.
The Daily Mail is Fox News. Its Fox News on a bad day. Every story is exaggerated, sensationalised, or downright made up.
It is not a newspaper that gives unbiased storylines. It is not a newspaper that gives accurate statistics. The Daily Mail lies.
Thanks,

The Daily Fail’s ‘greatest’ hits:
- Mere days after the death of Stephen Gately (openly gay Nineties pop star), Jan Moir wrote in the Mail that his death was ‘unnatural’ and caused by his ‘lifestyle’. This caused enough outrage for her to issue an apology: it was about as geniune as you’d expect.
- Janet Street-Porter, equally unpleasant person, wrote in the Mail that depression was ‘the new trendy illness’.
- After the Olympic Opening Ceremony featured an interracial couple, the Mail promptly said “This was supposed to be a representation of modern life in England but it is likely to be a challenge for the organisers to find an educated white middle-aged mother and black father living together with a happy family in such a set-up” (Note the placement there of the word ‘educated’, too.)
- Richard Littlejohn, the Mail’s star writer and leading contender for Worst Man In Britain, wrote an article misgendering a transwoman teacher and claiming her pupils should be ‘protected’ from her. She later took her own life. Littlejohn, needless to say, is still employed.
- Oh yeah, among the other things this stellar example of humanity did: when five women working as prositutes were murdered by a serial killer, he described their deaths as ‘no great loss’. Those exact words.
- Annnnnnnnd they were kinda pro-Nazi during World War II.

So I was reading about what happened to journalist Lara Logan, and on the site there’s all these tips about what women can do to avoid being raped, and one of them is ‘urinate, deficate or vomit on yourself’ if you’re being attacked. So I got to thinking, instead of telling people to vomit on themselves, couldn’t we just cut the nuts off rapists? And then I thought, okay, that’s not the way, can’t we just really really educate men about rape and the treatment of women?
Then I saw the Daily Mail talking about how Ms Logan ‘has form for dressing provocatively.’. And then I beat my head on my keyboard.
