A new editorial from a cisgender person at The New York Times has attacked the trans community, again. Read it here, but be warned that it is transphobic. 

            
                “.@NYTimes is excellent at conveying the anti-trans perspective. Thanks to The NY Times, I feel fairly up on it. But what about the perspective of people who are trans? It’s completely invisible to me from this newspaper. Is that intentional? Because it’s odd.”
            
            
        1670190124

            
                “Exactly this! As the Right is escalating its demonization of one of society’s most vulnerable groups, much of the mainstream elite punditry treats trans people like a sinister cabal with hegemonic influence in desperate need of critical scrutiny. Frankly, it’s disgusting.”
            
            
        1670193773

            
                “This suggests NYT writers and editorial staff are either completely ignorant of the conditions faced by the people they're covering or willingly complicit in erasing our experience and treating us like a danger to others. An utter lack of trans voices in the NYT suggests both.”
            
            
        1670180869

            
                “I see Pamela Paul is once again using her NYT platform to complain about trans people. "Whaah! Trans people reinforce stereotypes! Let's just reject their existence and celebrate tomboys instead."

What unoriginal nonsense. https://t.co/D6WsvWUR39”

On Friday afternoon at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., the 2025 Walter Cronkite Awards for Excellence in Political Journalism unfolded less like a media victory lap than a reckoning. The journalists honored — Rachel Maddow, Jon Stewart, Scott Pelley, Peter Alexander, John Dickerson, Julio Vaqueiro, and a range of local and investigative reporters — gathered amid an unspoken understanding: The work being celebrated is also the work now under the greatest strain.

The Democratic nominee for a U.S. Senate seat in Texas will most likely be a transgender ally regardless of who wins.
It's U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett versus state Rep. James Talarico in the fast-approaching March 3 primary election. Crockett filed her paperwork to run on Monday, setting up a showdown for the future of the Democratic Party in both Texas and the United States at large.

With LGBTQ+ people facing intensifying political hostility, PFLAG National gathered about 100 supporters Tuesday evening at the American Federation of Teachers headquarters in Washington, D.C., for its annual “Love Takes Justice” reception. Former Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank, a gay political icon, made a rare public appearance to celebrate a friend he knew from his time in Congress.
