In what must have been a disconcerting revelation to the editors of the liberal New York Times, “over 1000 contributors to the New York Times” have signed an open letter accusing the left-wing newspaper of following “the lead of far-right hate groups” in their coverage of transgender issues. They have been joined by “the countersignatures of 23,000 media workers, readers and subscribers to the newspaper.” The open letter was addressed to Philip B. Corbett, the associate managing editor for standards at the Times.
Among the signatories of the letter are celebrity activists Lena Dunhan and Cynthia Nixon. Also represented by the letter is noted transgender author Gretchen Felker-Martin, a biological male who has threatened to “slit the throat” of Harry Potter series creator J.K. Rowling and others who won’t blindly accept transgender propaganda.
