| The New York Times’s recent anti-trans coverage has many people angry and alarmed—including The Nation’s senior editor Jack Mirkinson, whose recent piece explores the paper’s long, late-to-the-game history on LGBTQ issues.
What’s most disappointing, Mirkinson explains, is that the Times appears determined not to learn from its past mistakes.
What does the future hold? “Trans people are currently experiencing a punishing, traumatic assault on their very right to be alive,” Mirkinson writes. “But if history is any guide, they will eventually win the battle to be treated as full human beings.” |
