This, of course is the newspaper that pretends to be feminist to attack trans people but has called Trump a "feminist hero" and "feminist champion" and celebrated the overturning of the constitutional right to an abortion.

This is a pretty huge, and damning, internal revelation about the NYT's ongoing overt campaign to stigmatize trans people. Holy shit.
How the nyt used the Cass report to restart its anti-trans propaganda campaign in the US:
Coverage of the report was initially assigned to a nyt UK correspondent, usual practice for a UK report. The story being prepared cited critics who called Cass a shoddy, political document that defied science

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.

Weasely Dems think you can split the baby on this -- oh, just a little discrimination at the high school sports level, but not elsewhere! We defend trans kids here, or here, but not here.

Tenemos que comprender que el arreón que ha pegado la ultraderecha en todo el mundo no responde a lógicas locales. Eso podría explicar giros en un país o dos, pero es un reordenamiento a nivel global que coincide con el tecnofeudalismo de las RRSS y con Billonarios comprando medios y elecciones.

So, if this happens, Canadian artists essentially aren't going to be able to take jobs in the US unless they've been silent on the administration for half a decade (which, let's be honest, is unlikely). Absolutely wild, dystopian stuff.
