   A predictable but absolutely craven response from the #NYTimes. They dismiss anyone concerned about trans rights, even their own contributors, as "advocates" but somehow transphobic lobbyists get to be neutral.

   (they also published a defense of the Wizard Lady today. What a sad and dangerous platform they've become)

     At TXO we firmly believe that the Times and many other mainstream media outlets must do a better job of representing trans voices, and actual medical experts on #trans rights, rather than bigoted punditry. #LGBTQIA #TransRightsAreHumanRights #journalism @gabrielarana @oconnell

     Today, a group of concerned contributors to the New York Times and allies issued an open letter about that outlet's consistent, dangerous #transphobia. Both our Editor in Chief @gabrielarana and Digital Editor Kit @oconnell signed on: https://nytletter.com

     Previously, Kit O'Connell wrote about the Times' dangerous attacks on #trans rights in this 2023 GLAAD Media Award nominated story: https://www.texasobserver.org/emily-bazelon-transgender-healthcare-debate-new-york-times/
