Of course, trans” women” are not women ! Why else do n they need a prefix? Women do not need a prefix..they are just women! Of course , men are not women, just as cats are not dogs. This is as obvious as 2+2=4! Any trans “woman “ who claims to be a woman is a liar.
The NYT has actually been pretty good on trans, especially feature pieces. Read Emily Bazelon and Megan Twohey’s long form pieces from the last 2, 3 years. And I don’t think their opinion page has been degraded much by TRA frothing. Pretty sure Pamela Paul wrote a good, thoughtful piece on trans in the opinion section in the last year or so. The NYT’s style guide was probably filled with the usual “kindness narrative” stuff but the paper has been very publicly willing to look over the parapet from time to time. They’ve also taken a pretty hard editorial line vs young woke staffers. Basically told them to STFU and go back to work. I’d say cut ‘em a break.
Finally some sanity 👏
I think I just took my first deep breath in 5 years!
I want a Posie doll!
Oh the fun it'd be! Especially with a cape.
Thanks for this heartening round up and commentary!
Go, TERFs, go!!

It was too fun to finally celebrate Terf Island and those tenacious Terfs!

I really disagree. They're shills.
Who? The NYT? On what basis? Did you read the Bazelon, Twohey and Paul pieces? Did you follow the story about the conflicts in the editorial dept?
