Oh boy... Where do we start here

Somehow trans women (whatever that is) are suffering the worst because I drive a smoking diesel?

Should we blame it on my neighbor and his 125 head of cattle?

What makes them different than anyone else trying to turn a trick?

Lets get this all sorted out already

The author of the article is Leo Galuh.

Emphasis mine.

=================

"Independent reporter and Reuters Correspondent Leo Galuh penned the report detailing the climate events effecting the income of the transgender sex worker in the Southeast Asian country."

Far-left Independent claims trans sex workers are the real victims of climate change

The article claimed, “Trans women like Patiha are among the most affected by extreme weather linked to climate change, as well as suffering disproportionately when disasters strike.”

There's a link to the Independent in your article that answers your question:

"That’s because many trans women, like Patiha, are shut out of the formal economy and survive as buskers and sex workers, occupations that rely on them being able to solicit clients outdoors."

How climate change is hitting vulnerable Indonesian trans sex workers

Nearly 93% of respondents saw decreased income during the rainy season
www.independent.co.uk

The first part in bold is the problem. Trans bigotry keeping trans people unemployed unless they go underground. That's why we teach kids not to hate trans people.
 
That is up to Indonesia, if they want to change those laws they can.
As I understand their laws, reading briefly, which admittedly their laws are quite complicated, trans people have discriminatory protections for employment like everyone else. However - only if they have filed their trans status to the government. Apparently you are not allowed to "go back and forth" - to get protections you must declare to the government you are trans - and prove your are undergoing transition medically. Whatever that means.
 
So Leo Galuh appears to think that an article that intersects climate alarmism and trans is bound to get more clicks.

No, what it really does is just make more people more firmly believe both are being hyped beyond all ridiculousness and reason (which they are).

I guess trans people in the US took Friday off and didn’t do anything newsworthy. I hope it didn’t inconvenience him too much having to scour the world today.
 

So you title is wrong and it is NOT an Reuters article. Not surprised in the least.
 
Articles are written to generate clicks.

Climate change, sex workers, trans - it's like a for profit media jackpot.

It’s a bizarre article. I’m surprised Reuters is associated with it.

Reuters is not associated with it as far as I know. Having someone who also works for Reuters write it for someone else does not make it associated with Reuters.

Other than the author works at Reuters, so there's that.

Do you think that Reuters knows this author has such off the wall opinions and views?
Or that Reuters ignores those off the wall opinions and views?
Or that Reuters knows and endorses those off the wall opinions and views?
 

Reuters has its standards and this piece did not make it in as far as I know.

It's not the piece or who published it, it's that Reuters retains so called 'reporters' or 'so called 'journalists' who hold such such off the wall opinions and views.

Isn't that the same 'rules' that the left works by? Toe the political and ideological line or get cancelled?
Sure seems that way.

Why isn't it applied the same in this case? Hmm?

Oh, right. Because off the wall intersectional IS toeing the left's political and ideological line.
 

Yawn... This is a freelance journalist based in Indonesia and published in many different outlets, each presumably screening his work as they see fit. At Reuters specifically, I only see a few of his articles and he always second author, not even the first.

Wake me up when you find something on Reuters.
