"The New York Times' inaccurate, irresponsible coverage of the transgender community is regularly utilized by extremist lawmakers to justify taking away best practice health care from youth," Ellis said in a Thursday press release. "The Times has continued down its path of ignoring the trans community, their healthcare providers, and medical experts. They have not taken our coalition up on our offer to meet with leaders from the trans community, nor have they hired any trans journalists full time, and have gone so far as to discipline their employees for bringing up valid and accurate critique of the newspaper's trans coverage. As the Times continues down this path, they become more irrelevant every day. We remain eager to meet with the Times to help correct these coverage failures."
On February 15 of last year, a letter was released calling on the Times to improve its coverage of trans people and issues. Signed by more than 100 organizations, activists, journalists, and celebrities, led by GLAAD, it denounced the Times for highlighting anti-trans voices.
