Post link: Is New York Times transphobic? @nostupidquestions@lemmy.world elaborating on why i was asking for confirmation in the post
how come most of their trans related opinion articles rarely invite a trans to get more of a trans perspective? for context, Media Matters and FAIR both have found that the vast majority of articles they published contained misinformation or outright harmful rhetoric against the trans community and over 130 articles on trans issues, and only quoted trans people in 14 of them also when the infamous US v. Skrmetti Supreme Court decision happened, which ruled that Tennessee’s ban on gender affirming care is legal, cited the Times 29 times in justifying their decision
how is this post promoting an agenda?
No stupid questions is for asking questions that the poster thinks might be stupid to ask. Like if eating cheese in the bath is normal.
Elaboration shows they have really thought about it and it is a topic for a serious discussion, not finding out that the question they thought might be stupid is just something people don’t talk about much.
They posted it in a community called ye power tripping bastard to ask if their bait post being deleted made the mod a power tripping bastard. They also assume it is the promoting an agenda part and not the bait part. The bait part just fits better in my opinion.
They are making it bigger than it is.
