I’d also just like to highlight that the high profile the NYT has given to Ghorayshi’s work compared to trans-affirmative stories of similar length was something pointed out by the journalists who called for the NYT to stop platforming transphobia. Because they weren’t even “both sides-ing” my life and the lives of those like me. Ghorayshi’s stories would be featured far more prominently, which matters.
And the NYT’s response to being told “maybe stop doing material harm to trans people with your journalism” was that doing so would be “activist journalism.”
How, pray tell, is Ghorayshi’s “journalism” distinct from activist journalism, when we look at how she treats her sources?
(this is a rhetorical question.)
