This is good, and if it really was a cause-and-effect thing that's good too, which is why I'm not trying to single this NYT reporter out. I simply want to note that you didn't see anyone at NYT say "Red State #7 has banned gender-affirming care. Last week, we reported it's bad." pic.twitter.com/BZ1AY82RrR

I've had conversations with journalists about this and they just sort of freeze up when you point it out.Here are two passages from publisher A.G. Sulzberger's recent state-of-the-paper address. In the first he brags about NYT journalism prompting govt action. He only brings up its equally impactful anti-trans journalism to say everyone speaking out about it is endangering reporters pic.twitter.com/FBUAcKaPcU

The anti-trans obsession at The Times, which has largely been a serious of articles about the possible "dangers" of minors transitioning, has obviously been there to have an impact. One piece is a story, several is a crusade. Someone thinks this is bad and is going to keep publishing evidence-free JAQing off pieces until they have an impact!
Well, they've had their impact. Own it.
