In addition to being immoral and reprehensible, the political calculus here is so stupid. Anti-trans lunatics are a fringe movement and they are so solidly GOP that not a single one would ever vote Biden

Hmm. I haven't seen any research on this issue in particular, but I know that many of those in the "squishy middle" (non-MAGA morons who barely pay attention) hold bigoted and/or idiotic views, but still might easily vote for a Dem. It's still dumb strategy, but "not a single one" sounds wrong.

What is the subheading and what is in the actual article? The NYT often throws out headlines that are absolutely contradicted by what is in the article itself.

*slightly* disagree here: I don’t think calculus is even to win voters. Same as immigration, it’s to get nyt et al to shut up about it & move to friendlier topics. But conclusion is similar—they don’t get media is in the tank for gop, and nothing, including Biden stepping aside, will appease them

NYT has learned that people screenshot their headlines for social media propaganda, and is lying accordingly.

Did they publish the actual quote? Because 4 days ago they ran an article that the Biden administration was trying remove age limits for surgeries. Sorry I just don’t trust the NYT right now.

Until the NYT *prints the actual motherfucking statement* I'm going to stop losing my mind over this. I'm losing my shit about everything else too hard to trust what they publish like this.

No room for compromise on your basic human rights, so long as the Republicans are ok with it!

Did you see the subheading of the NY times piece? Because it immediately contradicts the headline. It's ... *Sigh*

Anti-trans lunatics are fringe, but with the help of outlets like the NYT, they’ve succeeded in making “child surgery” an issue they can use strategically. A not small number of ppl who are pro trans rights, but are uncomfortable with the prospect of gender reassignment surgery for children
