That's weird. Is it a conscious, coordinated decision or is it a case of several writers being transphobic?

It seems to be both conscious and coordinate and does fit into the overall climate of the UK in general being quite openly transphobic (yes, that's a generalization, I know).

Just look at some of the crap that J. K. Rowling sprouts which doesn't seem to reduce her darling status.

The Equality Act allows for single-sex services to exclude trans people where this is “a proportionate means of meeting a legitimate aim”, such as in rape support services

What the fuck, trans people are 4x as likely to be victims of violent crimes and twice as likely to be victims of sexual violence than cis people, that’s a terrible fucking law
