For the most part, the New York Times is like many other major national news outlets when it comes to wearing their wokeness on their sleeves like a badge of honor. Racially-charged matters, abortion-themed pieces, and issues related to the LGBTQ community are typically presented in a sympathetic light and most often from the left’s perspective because the Times, of course, is admittedly a liberally biased newspaper with predictable left-wing narratives to push.

But every once in a blue moon, the Times strays from woke orthodoxy on these and other hot-button topics, whether it be on its opinion/editorial pages or in its “straight news” reporting. Over the last year or so, that has definitely been the case with their surprisingly wide-ranging coverage of the debate over so-called “transgender rights,” including whether or not the push to allow men who identify as women to compete in women’s sports is fair, and if it’s medically and morally appropriate to allow children to undergo the gender transition process, which sometimes includes surgery.

In fact, their coverage has been so balanced that it has caused an uproar among LGBTQ groups, including GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), which recently launched a campaign to shame the paper for having the nerve to occasionally present both sides of the gender identity politics debate or, as GLAAD characterizes it, their “irresponsible, biased coverage of transgender people” which supposedly spreads “inaccurate and harmful misinformation.”

According to GLAAD drama queen extraordinaire president Sarah Kate Ellis, their key demand is for the NYT to “stop printing anti-trans stories, meet with trans leaders, and hire trans journalists.”

Naturally, some of the writers and contributors in the Times newsroom have jumped on board the GLAAD campaign, penning a temper tantrum of a letter to Philip B. Corbett, the “associate managing editor for standards,” and strongly urging him to reverse course from allegedly “follow[ing] the lead of far-right hate groups in presenting gender diversity as a new controversy warranting new, punitive legislation.”

Not surprisingly, the Times contributors demanding the paper quash any stories that deviate from The Narrative also follows former Media Matters editor Parker Molloy, who is transgender, attacking the New York Times just last month over hiring who Molloy called an “anti-trans columnist”–David French.

It’s always the same old song and dance with the activist left–even against their own “side,” either conform or be shamed and canceled. Unfortunately for them, their targets aren’t easily intimidated. However, the editorial team at the New York Times might be an exception to the rule judging by past actions and statements.

Always count on lefties to devour each other!
