In case you aren't already boycotting the New York Times, here's another good reason to join the boycott:
The nonprofit Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) found that, between 2024 and 2025, the Times published over 130 articles on trans issues, and only quoted trans people in 14 of them. 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.
The Times has even been cited in laws and court cases attacking trans rights. In 2024, Mother Jones reported on numerous different anti-trans state-level laws and legal battles that cited their reporting, including in Alabama, Idaho, and Missouri. The infamous US v. Skrmetti Supreme Court decision, which ruled that Tennessee’s ban on gender affirming care is legal, cited the Times 29 times in justifying their decision.
