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.

Someone doing Duolingo at the airport gate with no headphones. Asked her if she could stop or put on headphones, she said she’d lower the volume and didn’t have headphones. Deeply evil behaviour.

Everyone's first image of Harry, Ron and Hermione will always be these trans allies: Dan, Emma and Rupert.

Against that, there is a very good legal - I emphasise the word legal - case that actually the decision doesn't really mean that much.

The High Court has previously held that a decision to exclude trans women from single sex spaces would be unlawful unless it was justifiable.

When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.
