I called the #NewYorkTimes and cancelled my subscription this morning--I have a #nonbinary child. I told the very nice lady I spoke to why I was cancelling, and asked her to pass on to management that they were putting kids like mine in danger. She said she would pass that along, then offered me the editorial department's phone number so that I could also call them and let them know why I'd cancelled.
I did indeed call & leave a message. The number is 212-556-3652.
This is why it is so dumb for a newspaper to have split reporting and opinion editorial boards. Their editorials are written by a completely different staff than writes their news stories, all the way up to the editors. There's no way to punish their editorial staff for its hurtful work without punishing the journalists who had no role in it at the same time.
This absurd business model needs to end.

The editorial about Rowling by Pamela Paul was easy to find. It would be useful to have some links to anti-trans news coverage too, if you could post a couple. (Thanks in advance.)
@stevensrmiller The open letter to the Times from its own contributors cites a number of specific news pieces.
Spectacular, thank you!
@shacker @jadeforrest @jesscraven101 She’snot our ally, period. She has NEVER fought for our rights, and is openly fighting against them alongside some truly terrible people and organizations.
Your dismissal of trans people’s experiences with her, along with trying to gaslight everyone here into believing she’s some kind of ally that she most provably is not, has been duly noted. You’re defending a raging bigot.
@turboquokka @jadeforrest @jesscraven101
How are these not the statements of an ally?
“Trans people need and deserve protection.”
“I believe the majority of trans-identified people not only pose zero threat to others but are vulnerable.”
“I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them.”
“I feel nothing but empathy and solidarity with trans women who’ve been abused by men.”
@turboquokka @jadeforrest @jesscraven101
She has said she would march with trans people to defend their rights! How is that not an ally?
@shacker @jadeforrest @jesscraven101 Since you seem so intent on remaining intellectually ignorant, rather than actually listening to trans folks (or, y’know, doing the absolute bare minimum and Googling before you open your mouth), here’s just one of many articles written on her transphobia, complete with receipts.

@shacker @jadeforrest @jesscraven101 Still think I’m full of shit? Cool. Here’s what GLAAD has to say about it.
—Tweeted “Big love to you xxx” to Caroline Farrow, an anti-trans, anti-gay, and anti-abortion activist after Farrow complained of “having had my life invaded and dominated by insane trans rights activists.” According to PinkNews, Farrow blamed LGBT+ people when she was barred from travelling to the US, was served an injunction over “abusive tweets” she sent to a trans woman, described a same-sex penguin pair at a zoo as “deviant,” railed against And Tango Makes Three, about a pair of male penguins raising a chick together, and insisted that Disney is losing money because of its inclusion of qu
