http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2013/01/14/guardian-columnist-suzanne-moore-apologises-for-brazilian-transsexual-remark/Guardian columnist Suzanne Moore has returned to Twitter and apologised for some of her controversial comments about the trans community.
Trans Media Watch responded by saying it "welcomed the apology" and described it as a "positive step forward" on its Twitter feed.
Last week, Moore was severely criticised for suggesting women were expected to look like "Brazilian transsexuals" in an article published first in the New Statesman and then in the Guardian.

On Monday afternoon, Moore reactivated her account. Linking to her original new Statesman article and her piece in the Guardian, she tweeted:
"The Red essay had ben round for months and not a single complaint on my use of 'Brazilian transsexual' as one of many idealised body shapes.
"I did not set out to offend and the murder of all women trans or not is clearly something I DO care about. I think readers know this?
