At The New York Times' annual shareholders meeting, publisher A.G. Sulzberger addressed a question regarding the paper's responsibility for its coverage of transgender issues, which some claim has justified discriminatory policies. The question, posed by a concerned mother, highlighted the potential harm of the Times' reporting, particularly as it has been cited by the Trump administration and anti-trans activists. Sulzberger defended the coverage as fair and comprehensive, asserting that the paper has more subscribers than ever and engages with critics to ensure high journalistic standards. However, critics, including GLAAD and members of the transgender community, argue that the Times has not adequately acknowledged the negative impact of its reporting, which they believe has contributed to harmful legislation against transgender individuals. They point out that the framing of gender-affirming care as medically unsettled contradicts the consensus of major medical organizations, including the American Medical Association and the World Health Organization. Additionally, a review revealed that the Times often fails to include transgender voices in its reporting, leading to a credibility issue within the community. While some LGBTQ+ journalism organizations see progress in the Times' approach, concerns remain about the representation of transgender individuals in newsrooms and the impact of coverage on public perception and policy.
