The New York Times claims to be the nation’s newspaper of record and its liberal moral compass but, in reality, it has promoted ghastly harm to tens of thousands of young people with their arrogant proselytizing of gender ideology.
You are absolutely right that there is a story here, should the Times choose to direct its considerable reporting resources towards it. I am sure we would all love to know the root causes, the financial underpinnings, the forces that captured intelligent medical professionals, therapists, teachers and administrators, HR professionals, child protective services . . .
Fantastic piece, well researched. You put your finger on why I have been ENRAGED by The New York Times. To this litany of journalistic sins committed by the Times, I would add another. When our daughter decided she was trans, and we as parents refused to 'affirm,' she pointed to respected news outlets, the Times chief among them, as 'proof' that her parents were just old-school morons.
Bravo! But the Media including "prestigious" newspapers as The Times are mere propaganda tools. There are not more than that and as soon people understand it this Media will lose power, of course for people who cares about the truth that I am afraid there aren't many left if not we wouldn't have a "transgender problem" to start with.
I opposed every time I have the opportunity to the concept of "gender giving at birth" but I will used it to make a point and look for the person who gave me my gender and then sue them because I am not happy with that gender "given at birth". So after all maybe it is a good idea that people who are in disagreement with their gender to start seeking for those responsible in giving them their actual gender and make them accountable.
Not every single news article related to gender ideology published in the Times is biased, but most of them are. I would expect trans extremists to lash out at anything questioning their narrative. The author is saying out loud what is mostly just whispered: The Times was deceived and the consequences are tragic.
This was outstanding. It was, dare I say it, journalism! Yes, there was OpEd in it, too, but you brought the facts, and outlined a great plan for the NYT to redeem itself, at least on this topic.
They will not be honest. Then they would have to admit that they were actually the mouthpiece for whatever cabal purposely saturated western society in gender ideology and its language. This ball did not get pushed over the ledge organically. It was pushed and the NYT helped do that. Once the ball got rolling however, opportunists piled on and the natural human tendency towards social contagion took over. The ludicrous idea that sex was fluid and kids could be “born in the wrong body” became cemented in schools, institutions and government.
This will not be over until we all understand the forces that pushed that ball over the cliff initially and what they hoped to achieve. Money was part of it, or at least for some on team “Mutilate Children”. One of Obama’s day 1 actions certainly helped. From what I understand he was bankrolled by the Pritzkers. The LGB groups added T just prior to this. We will hopefully be able to tease out their motivations as time goes on.
It is also essential we examine why we were such easy marks and fall for the con? Many of us didn’t but we were the vast minority. How do we keep it from happening again?
Can’t stress enough how important it is to use our votes to make NYT and the turd burger that it is irrelevant.
If the only party, Republicans, saying no to this bull then voting them into office is the only path to change. Imagine the nightmare of an AOC/Kamala/[fill in the lunatic Dem] presidency.
Then there is Lydia Polgreen, a NYT op-ed writer who penned this gem, in which she equates her regret at not joining her elementary school swim team with the regret of detransitioners who have to live with their mutilated bodies: https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/there-is-no-way-to-live-a-life-without
Thanks for taking another swing at the NYT. I unsubscribed 4 years ago as they drifted from journalism to advocacy on a number of issues. Their grip on elite intellectuals is scary.
At last a quiet coherent description that can and should be applied to individuals and institutions before and beyond the Times. Let’s all keep it and use it whenever we are faced with another liberal consumer of gender ideology
Conflating Statistics.
How much Biologically Male Criminality is being Attributed to Biological Women, bc of Trans-Conflation?
How much watering down of Biological Male Patterns of Criminality and Violence bc of the Conflation of Trans Male Patterns?
Then there's the Co-Opting of LG, and the SA of them... The Conflation of Other statistics...
Lies lies and liars! It's... disastrous.
💯
Stories of detranisitioners need to become prevalent in the mainstream media as these individuals are often ostracised and need affirmation instead.

you are talking like the trans extremists who demanded the Times censor itself after it released an expose on a gender clinic in St Louis.

Well done 👍🏻
Great article Did you send it to the New York Times? Maybe send to Gavin Newsom so his wife can read it
Thank you!! I will not renew my subscription. We need to bombard them with mail.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to change their tune. Once a propaganda rag, always a propaganda rag. Awards or not, that is who they are.
Bravo
The NYT has been complicit not just in pushing the trans cause, but in promulgating the lies written by others, including Dr. Jack Turban WPATH stalwart: https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/a-psychiatrists-new-pitch-for-talking?utm_source=publication-search
Then there is Lydia Polgreen, a NYT op-ed writer who penned this gem, in which she equates her regret at not joining her elementary school swim team with the regret of detransitioners who have to live with their mutilated bodies: https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/there-is-no-way-to-live-a-life-without
Not content with this, she wrote about her sadness that not all adolescents can get "gender affirming care" on tap and for good measure blasted JK Rowling for her "transphobia": https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/the-new-york-times-publishes-more?utm_source=publication-search
This NYT article about a sad young woman living as a man who was murdered could not even tell the difference between real life and virtual life: https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/building-resilience-takes-practice?utm_source=publication-search
This post was written in response to an article written by a synthetically sexed woman who writes op-eds for the NYT. He was upset that Trump doesn't believe that he is "really" a woman: https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/wrong-does-not-cease-to-be-wrong?utm_source=publication-search
And he is also mentioned here, after he talked about his experience as a man with AGP (although he calls this "becoming my authentic self"): https://lucyleader.substack.com/p/the-aliens-have-landed-into-a-body?utm_source=publication-search
The NYT is going to be doing a lot of backtracking at some point.
