This week, we’re discussing the New York Times’s openly (and now defiantly) anti-transgender coverage. Specifically, writer Pamela Paul wrote an op-ed titled “In Defense of J.K. Rowling,” where she absurdly depicted the billionaire author as a victim on par with Salman Rushdie. Trans people asserting their right to exist are obviously not issuing a fatwa against their oppressors.
