Saw some pearl-clutching about "dehumanizing" because of an angry post about health insurers.
Here's some real dehumanizing: UnitedHealthcare uses algorithmic methods to thwart access to mental healthcare. It's been found illegal in three states, but they keep using it everywhere else.

If you accept trans people are real and about ~1.5% of the population, then trans kids are being undertreated by a factor of about 100x. Seriously, look up how many kids in the US have accessed trans care. It's around 0.05% at the highest measure
It’s genuinely shocking if you’re remotely familiar with the basic facts of trans care and youth medicine.
It is *profoundly* difficult to access gender-affirming care as a minor and the Times has printed more than a dozen articles implying that it is too easy.

in hindsight the NYT anti-trans crusade is one of the most despicable things that any big time journalism outfit in this country has ever done. a perfect and clearly intentional layup for the fascists on the Supreme Court

The NYT has spent years pushing an anti-trans ideology. Trans people have actually lost rights in recent years, making them vulnerable to draconian laws and violence. Now the NYT says trans activitists are being a little too mean to transphobes online, and that's why their losing their rights.
Even by the abysmal standards of the NYT's coverage of trans rights this is shocking
