Earlier this year, we published an article on how women are increasingly seeking out testosterone to help with energy or their sex lives. We followed up with one woman who went on testosterone to help with her menopausal symptoms. The effects had unexpected consequences for her marriage.

The New York Times is continuing to push their anti trans agenda.
I asked around and this does appear to be a deliberate style change. It wasn’t announced to staff, but contentious style changes often aren’t. They’re just imposed by the standards desk when they review a story. (Take that for what it is) This desk btw is run by Patrick Healy, no friend of trans ppl

I’ve said it before and I’ll said it again: Gender-affirming care is healthcare, period. It is evidence-based, backed by the American Medical Association, and helps trans individuals live their lives with the dignity we all deserve. Gender-affirming care saves lives.

They never mention that key figures driving these bans are all connected to a global far right and reactionary movement to roll back gender rights. SEGM is the respectable face of this movement they use to undermine access to care. SEGM members have driven the bans on GAC in Europe and the US.

The ban in New Zealand was the result of a far right coalition party demanding it, not because of medical authorities implementing one. It's political but Azeen never mentions that context. The goal of this framing is to normalize bans to readers as if they're good faith rather than political.

One reason the NYT has burned its credibility with trans people is that they still cite the discredited Cass report in reporting on trans healthcare. Never the German, Utah, or other systematic reviews supporting care. They also never provide the political context behind restrictions in care.
