As a follow up to the New York Times piece yesterday, “How a Small Gender Clinic Ended up in a Political Storm,” we encourage subscribers to reach out to the newspaper today to thank them for the courage to investigate and report about concerns with gender clinic practices and medical interventions for gender distressed young people as a whole.
If you are a subscriber to the New York Times, you can use this link to provide them with feedback.
As they say at the top of this webpage, “We Want to Hear From You.” Let’s take them up on that offer!
Here is a sample of ideas for what feedback you can offer:
Introduce yourself and share a little about yourself and your concern about this issue. For example, “My name is Emily, I am a mother, a lesbian, and a lifelong liberal Democrat, and I am concerned with the current practice of medical intervention for gender-distressed children and teens.”
Thank them for the article and for their courage to investigate and report on those who are raising concerns about gender clinic practices for children and teens
Speak to any part of this issue where you are personally connected or where you would like to see them do more investigative reporting. For example, “I would like you to interview detransitioners to learn more about their experiences with doctors, therapists and clinics.”
If you do submit feedback, please leave us a note in the comments! We would love to hear what you have shared and use it to help inform future Action Alerts.
More to come soon!
The NYTS did thoroughly corroborate Jamie Reed’s account of her work at Wash U. The fact that the NYTS thoroughly sourced her account and testimony with documents from the patients and internal records was done right, especially after the fiasco with Bari Weiss interviewing the mom...and with the son who complained that his mom was lying on Twitter and said the Free Press didn’t ask his permission and the kid came out on Twitter and tried to discredit the whole story including Reed. I call this article a major win. If Turban & GLAAD are MAAD they can go pound salt. She needed her testimony properly sourced and the NYTS did that (so did Singal he’s the real deal) and put her photo on front page. It’s pretty hard for TRAs to invalidate Reed now that the NYTS did a thorough investigation into her patient records & documents they wouldn’t have published the article with so much to lose if if Reed were to be discredited. This is our first whistleblower and she had the receipts.Thanks Jamie Reed!
Also...Erin Reed clearly doesn’t understand HIPPO 🦛
There weren’t any names of patients can someone explain Hippo to GLAAD. Thx
I submitted this to NYT referring to story about Jamie Reed and also today's story about explosive growth in gender surgeries:
I appreciate your 2 recent stories emphasizing the extraordinary growth of gender medicine and surgeries. I am a NYC clinical psychologist who has watched this medicalization trend with grave concerns. Whistleblowers and data are both needed to challenge the affirmation tsunami.
