“I think I’ve lost my country,” she recalled thinking as she watched Mr. Trump's inaugural speech where he declared that the U.S. government would now recognize only two genders, male and female. “This is not the America I thought I had represented or that I grew up in.”

The second story, by my colleague Ernesto Londono, is about Robyn McCutcheon, the first American diplomat to come out as transgender. She walked Ernesto through her life story and fascinating career, and why she has decided to leave the United States.

Imara Jones, a transgender journalist who runs the media company TransLash, said to Amy: “What this says is that you, as a transgender person, do not matter to the state, and the state gets to tell you who you are.”

Brianna Wu, a fund-raiser who has had an “F” on her passport but expects to receive an “M” when it expires, told Amy: “A trans woman in sports understands that they’re kind of playing on the edge of something. But this makes me out myself every time I use my passport."

My colleague @amyharmon.bsky.social spoke with trans Americans about the new rule that US passports must reflect the sex on a person’s original birth certificate. They described how and why that rule is a direct blow on their identity and participation in public life.

Some readers thought we were ignoring the "Free Palestine" claim. We weren't. We were reporting carefully and publishing confirmable facts. The New York Times faces outside pressures to bend its standards sometimes and push one side's agenda. That's not what independent journalists do.

Our New York Times standards are clear: we work to confirm information for ourselves, and we try to get confirmation from multiple sources. We are independent journalists, and that means we don't recycle what others write, and we don't have an agenda in our reporting. We seek facts.

No one else confirmed the "Free Palestine" remark; some people told us they only heard other people saying they heard it. Authorities refused to answer questions about it. Meanwhile, other news outlets had the "Free Palestine" detail high up in stories, and some readers asked me why we didn’t.

The "Free Palestine" comment was attributed in several news reports to that same one witness. Our reporters called the witness; he declined to speak, and a woman who answered his phone (and who also witnessed the shooting) said she wasn't sure herself what the gunman said.

After this shooting happened at the New Hampshire country club, we published a breaking news story based on information from authorities and our interviews. Then we started seeing other news outlets report that a witness said the gunman was yelling "Free Palestine." www.foxnews.com/us/witness-s...

That problem is that these missions require extreme care and precision but are exceptionally vulnerable to failure. Some are big successes; others go wrong and there is often little public accountability.

The reporters interviewed two dozen current and former U.S. officials familiar with the mission. Why did these officials disclose classified information to us? Several said they did so because the 2019 mission highlights a problem that plagues Special Operations.

The reporters and editors on this story worked on it for months and discussed at length how to handle classified operational details. They factored in the public interest and the sensitivity of some of the information. They decided to withhold some sensitive classified details.

National security reporting like this is in the public interest. These missions often remain shielded by secrecy laws, leaving most Americans with no way to know about major actions that influence national security and may have an impact on their lives.

The Times proceeds cautiously when reporting on classified military operations. As our assistant managing editor for Standards and Trust, I want to walk through why we did this story.
