The New York Times is under attack by LGBTQ activists, among them its own contributors, over the media outlet’s coverage of transgender issues, in particular news stories about the medical treatment of children seeking to switch genders.
An open letter to The New York Times authored by the activists was signed by more than 1,000 contributors to the outlet and 23,000 others as of Thursday, among them well-known actors, media workers, readers and subscribers to the newspaper, according to a statement from the group.
“As thinkers, we are disappointed to see The New York Times follow the lead of far-right hate groups in presenting gender diversity as a new controversy warranting new, punitive legislation,” the letter declares. Some states have moved to outlaw the treatments, some of them irreversible, now offered to children that range from hormone therapy to surgery.
Both stories included the opinions of those who are critical of allowing children to transition to another gender or allowing schools to keep parents in the dark about students who switch genders.
