NYT Hypocrisy: Outlet Criticizes Trump's Attacks On Trans People That They Helped Usher In (www.erininthemorning.com)

Today, The New York Times Editorial Board published an opinion piece decrying the state of transgender rights under the Trump administration.

...

What the piece conveniently omits, however, is the Times’ own complicity. No other major paper has done more to legitimize the very arguments fueling these attacks than The New York Times itself.

some criticism from trans journalist Katelyn Burns along the same lines: The NYT Editorial Board's Shameless Pro-Trans Stance

There's just one problem. The Times itself, through both the news and opinion sections, have been advocating for these policies for years. The Times' negative coverage of gender-affirming care for trans youths has been well documented. NYT lead health reporter Azeen Ghorayshi was accused in 2023 of "betraying" parents of St. Louis area trans kids after she wrote a glowing profile of debunked "whistleblower"-turned anti-trans social media personality Jamie Reed.

and an archive link to the NYT op-ed, if you want to read the piece they're criticizing without boosting their ad revenue or readership metrics.
