Nearly 200 liberal New York Times<\/u><\/a> contributors signed an open letter bashing their own news outlet for its recent coverage of trans issues.<\/p>\n

The letter claimed that the paper\u2019s coverage of the “propriety of medical care for trans children” has featured “an eerily familiar mix of pseudoscience and euphemistic, charged language.”<\/p>\n

Those who signed the letter alleged that the outlet has followed “the lead of far-right hate groups in presenting gender diversity as a new controversy.”<\/p>\n

As Fox News Digital reported last November, the Times faced “blow back” for one of its recent reports “delving into the potential consequences of puberty blockers.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

NEW YORK TIMES STORY ON PUBERTY BLOCKERS FUELS CRITICS AMID TRANS DEBATE: ‘DECADE LATE ON THIS STORY’<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This blow back has now materialized in a February 15 letter signed by prominent lefty journalists and authors, including Ed Yong, Lucy Sante, Roxane Gay<\/u><\/a>, and Rebecca Solnit. <\/p>\n

Personally addressed to the Times\u2019 associate managing editor for standards, Phillip B. Corbett, the letter alerted him to “serious concerns about editorial bias in the newspaper\u2019s reporting on transgender, non\u2060-\u2060binary, and gender-nonconforming people.”<\/p>\n

The aggrieved liberal authors noted that though “plenty of reporters at the Times cover trans issues fairly,” they are “eclipsed, however, by what one journalist has calculated as over 15,000 words of front\u2060-\u2060page Times coverage debating the propriety of medical care for trans <\/u><\/a>children<\/u> <\/a>published in the last eight months alone.”<\/p>\n

According to the letter, the paper has recently “treated gender diversity with an eerily familiar mix of pseudoscience and euphemistic, charged language, while publishing reporting on trans children that omits relevant information about its sources.”<\/p>\n

Thus, it claimed that Times has impeded upon its own “editorial guidelines” which “demand that reporters \u2018preserve a professional detachment, free of any whiff of bias\u2019 when cultivating their sources, remaining \u2018sensitive that personal relationships with news sources can erode into favoritism, in fact or appearance.\u2019”\u00a0<\/p>\n

TRANSGENDER MALE SWIMMER STRUGGLING AGAINST NEW COMPETITION AFTER EARNING ALL-AMERICAN HONORS AS FEMALE<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It cited several articles that allegedly ran afoul of proper practices, including, Emily Bazelon\u2019s article “The Battle Over Gender Therapy,” “When Students Change Gender Identity and Parents Don\u2019t Know” by Katie Baker, and “How to Make Sense of the New L.G.B.T.Q. Culture War” by Ross Douthat.<\/p>\n

The letter lamented that several of these pieces were used in “an amicus brief in defense of Alabama\u2019s Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act,” a bill that “would make it a felony, punishable by up to 10 years\u2019 imprisonment, for any medical provider to administer certain gender\u2060-\u2060affirming medical care to a minor.”<\/p>\n

Further, the letter accused The New York Times of following the “lead of far-right hate <\/u><\/a>groups<\/u> <\/a>in presenting gender diversity as a new controversy warranting new, punitive legislation.”<\/p>\n

It declared, “Puberty blockers, hormone replacement therapy, and gender\u2060-\u2060affirming surgeries have been standard forms of care for cis and trans people alike for decades,” and argued that the Times once also helped to demonize homosexuality in years past.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It noted, “You no doubt recall a time in more recent history when it was ordinary to speak of homosexuality as a disease at the American family dinner table\u2014a norm fostered in part by the New York Times\u2019 track record of demonizing queers through the ostensible reporting of science.”<\/p>\n

The authors and contributors concluded with an accusation that the paper does not value trans individuals, including its own writers in that category: “Some of us are trans, non\u2060-\u2060binary, or gender-nonconforming, and we resent the fact that our work, but not our person, is good enough for the paper of record.”<\/p>\n

It added, “Some of us are cis, and we have seen those we love discover and fight for their true selves, often swimming upstream against currents of bigotry and pseudoscience fomented by the kind of coverage we here protest.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
