I just can't understand why people are so brainwashed, and so many women!

Trans 'women' are men, and misogynistic men at that.

We are slowly being erased, it's horrific.

Neither can I. And mothers of girls too!

Some of them are literally watching their daughters be beaten in sports by males while enjoying the warm glow of the social rewards that come with virtue signalling and inclusion....their own inclusion! I've lost nearly all respect for these women.

Erasure is exactly what it's about. "Woman" is replaced by "person with a vagina" (e.g., Supreme Court of Canada), "mother" by "birthing person" (e.g., 2022 Biden FY budget), but I've never heard or read of a man referred to as a "person with a penis" or a father referred to as an "inseminating person." Google it. That part is clearly about (some) men (with the help and support of some deluded women) eroding women's hard-won rights.

Not 'she'. Petrillo is a 'he'.

Google “Ingrid van Kranen” and select images. Worst trans “woman” I’ve ever seen.

Fantastic and thorough article, and an example of why people, such as myself, have cancelled their subscriptions to the NYT in favour of Substack.

I still get the NYT so I can be outraged over their abandonment of journalism

I cancelled my NYT subscription 3 times.. I subscribe to read a specific article then try to read others and see how it censors centrist and conservative views, it's a mouthpiece for Leftist propaganda. WSJ seems to have more articles that seem like they're written by NYT writers lately. No real newsource that's truly unbiased.

I think it's impossible to be unbiased but by using confusing and incorrect language like trans woman instead of male who identifies as female, or calling people who stand up for women's rights "anti-trans," media outlets have given up any claim to objectivity

Very well said! Your reply should be a sticker or t-shirt.💞

I get what you're saying, I have occasionally looked at the ABC for the same reason.

I have a subscription but it won’t let me read the sports articles. I would have have to pay still more.

What a vile piece of transactivist propaganda. Of course, the replies are turned off on the article itself as well as on the author's X/Twitter post of the article.

The ability to comment after the NYT article about Long Island police arresting a masked man (who turned out to have a 14-inch knife on him), as per the new law, was active in AM but then was not just disabled but disappeared entirely.

My guess is that most of us, even readers of The New York Times, are thoroughly fed up with people wearing masks and keffiyehs, screaming, and mucking up our streetscapes and monuments, and comments reflected that disgust. The paper couldn't tolerate it.

The Times has not yet caught up with its customers. Step up!

If I were writing about Petrillo, I would use he/him not she/her.

Why dignify Petrillo's delusion about his sex and the ongoing insult to women he represents?

That shows, the MSM, including the NYT are ideologically captured.

The last time I posted anything about men preforming as women in sport I got an incredibly long message telling me to go away and kill myself, among other things. As far as I’m concerned that just about sums up the whole situation. They hate biological women.

They have no logic to refute you - so end up using the crude retorts of the illogical never any doubt crusaders.

No one is “assigned male at birth”. Sex is not “assigned”; it’s observed.

If you believe that trans women (or other men) should be allowed to compete against biological women in most sports or that they belong in women's restrooms, locker rooms and prisons then you are either cognitively impaired or intellectually dishonest.
