"Sulzberger defended the paper's journalism, describing the reporting as 'incredibly rigorously reported and edited' and saying the Times aims 'to cover all aspects of that shift fully and fairly'."
"He also said readers 'couldn't read any of that and think that The New York Times is anti-trans', pointing to coverage that includes discrimination and violence, as well as stories about 'groundbreakers in the community'."
"A spokesperson for the Times later told The Advocate that Sulzberger had 'addressed [the mother's] question fully', and referenced prior remarks in which he argued that withholding information because it could be misused would be 'unjournalistic'."
"GLAAD criticized the response, with a spokesperson saying: 'The New York Times once again failed to take responsibility for years of coverage that has been so inaccurate and biased that the Trump administration, the Supreme Court, and right-wing lawmakers in states considering anti-trans legislation have spec'."
