The nyt has a de facto policy of not hiring trans journalists. The v few who transitioned there were driven out. I was one.

absolutely, and might I add, this is exactly where journalism has gone wrong
instead of seeking subject matter experts as reporters, they call them "too close" to the story; fear bias
then they never get close to the story and force the journalism to include non-experts with clear bias

They hate being called bigots, but they hate trans ppl even more, so much they abandon their duty to facts and fairness
The rot comes from the top.
That’s a stark contrast to other msm: NBC, WaPo, ProPublica, 19th, Mother Jones, Chron, Axios come immediately to mind.
The nyt is making a clear statement: Trans journos are unwanted
It’s unsurprising that the trans coverage in these big outlets is consistently more accurate, fairer and more attuned to the topic area.
It’s what journalism should be.
