The Gray Lady Isn't Man EnoughTransgender ideologues want absolute, unquestioning silence from anyone inclined to disagree.

The New York Times, that notorious bastion of reactionary right-wing thought, has come under fire from its own contributors for insufficient enthusiasm for the (LGB)T agenda.
In an open letter first published Wednesday and now signed by more than 1,000 Times contributors—not to mention 23,000 others—a collective of gender radicals accuses the Gray Lady of “editorial bias in the newspaper’s reporting on transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming people.”
The trans militants quickly clarify that by “bias” they mean to refer to “what one journalist has calculated as over 15,000 words of front-page Times coverage debating the propriety of medical care for trans children published in the last eight months alone.”
Which is to say, they object not to any actual bias, not to any particularly offensive statements, not to any claim that has been shown to be false or misleading—only to the paper’s willingness to discuss a pressing issue with some small degree of journalistic detachment.
“All of us daresay our stance is unremarkable, even common, and certainly not deserving of the Times’ intense scrutiny,” the letter writers insist.
They treat as common sense and beyond question not just the general belief that a woman can be born in a man’s body but the particular assertion that children’s bodies should be irreversibly mutilated before the age of majority to cater to such fantasies.
The rambling, delusional letter asserts that “puberty blockers, hormone replacement therapy, and gender-affirming surgeries have been standard forms of care for cis and trans people alike for decades.” It does not elaborate on these claims.
