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?
It wasn’t a stupid question, it was a leading question on an (unfortunately) charged topic which would have been better suited to a different kind of community.
Your added explanation leads toward a specific kind of answer instead of leaving it more open-ended.
I agree with you, but I don’t think that was the right place for the discussion to happen. Maybe a TIL or one of the more directed discussion communities would be better suited.
