The @nytimes.com is using the anti-trans playbook—and even the same reporter, Azeen Ghorayshi—to go after the autistic community now. They’ve come a long way in the wrong direction since the Science Times was one of the best sections of the paper. Their reporting is often ignorant and irresponsible.
