Just putting it out there: I would buy a shirt that said “Assigned Media: Very Trans. Very Journalism.”

Tell them to check out "You Betrayed Us, Azeen" on Assigned Media lol

the 'chemical imbalance' theory is in brief:
- marketing
- not science

this has been widely known, for a long time. it's just outlets like the nyt that remain stubbornly self deluded ...

Your press release @nytimespr.bsky.social exudes grievance … but who has suffered harm here? A powerful institution whose coverage has been questioned, or the vulnerable ppl who have suffered from it?

Who really has “endured” harm?

I invite your response @nytimespr.bsky.social

The nyt preyed on trans ppl, a vulnerable minority that poses no threat to anyone,

But its leaders also preyed on the general public’s lack of knowledge about us to foment disinformation, doubt and discrimination.

They turned their back on their professional duty to cover us fairly,

Some of your assertions ask ppl not to believe their own eyes. You did in fact publish an opinion piece “In Defense of JK Rowling” immediately after hundreds of your own contributors protested your growing bias. That is a fact.

This assertion is false: “No UK correspondent was assigned or drafted a story about the Cass report.”

I read the story as it was being written. It was placed on the budget and then pulled off. I know this bc it was my job to know what was being covered, how and by whom. Your publisher knows this.

the article does absolutely nothing to back your argument up tho. its just “some unnamed economists say planes and smart phones exist, so stop whining” against statistics and statements from named economists completely at odds with that claim

Deaths of despair have increased, life expectancy is down, economic mobility is in a death spiral, food costs are up, debt is up, people are financing their groceries, healthcare is collapsing, and that's all just vibes. The real economy is in the hearts of the faithful at the NYT, blessed be.

also, “politics is bottom/top not left/right” might work as a slogan but is shit as analysis. who is the bottom? who is the top? who constitutes an “elite” and who belongs to “the people?” these are important questions that have to be answered.

@aricohn.com doesn't think a straight student has a 1A right to call every gay kid "that f-----" because it is their political belief that gay behavior shouldn't be normalized. He doesn't think a white student has the right to call all the Black kids the N word.

Misgendering every trans student is targeted. Each time a student misgenders a classmate, it is targeted at that classmate. I'm not a lawyer, but if your brief doesn't explain where the difference is, maybe you shouldn't be either.
