On standing:
When Catholic Charities is “more guarded and cautious,” it has standing in the Sixth Circuit to challenge Mich.'s conversion therapy ban.
When Friends of George’s “alter[s] the content of their productions,“ it lacks standing in the Sixth Circuit to challenge Tenn.'s anti-drag law.

The Sixth Circuit jumps out ahead of SCOTUS to block Michigan's conversion therapy ban
In doing so, the appeals court also shows how conveniently standing law is used. Also: SCOTUS rejects DOJ's stay request in a case about immigration judges' speech rights.

The nyt’s anti-trans coverage has always been Sulzberger’s political project. He and his lieutenants saw trans ppl as easy prey, a way to show the right wing the nyt was not a “liberal rag” and pay no price for their bigotry
But there is a price: the lives of trans ppl, especially young ppl.

These decisions came from the top. From its first stories on Cass to this day, the nyt falsely portrays its supposed authority and ignores the vast evidence that challenges its politicised assertions. The nyt ignores the far greater number of reports that align w real doctors and actual research

By failing to examine Cass’s assertions critically and provide even basic context, the nyt failed its most fundamental journalistic duty. It handed over its space and authority to an anti-trans campaigner. The “conversation with” story was propaganda disguised as news.

The nyt soon gave Cass herself an unusual news platform to dismiss her critics and, further, to say that US doctors were “out of date” on gender care. The story’s “conversation with” format, rarely used in nyt news coverage, allowed Cass to repeat her assertions uncritically and without context.

The nyt’s first story on the Cass report didn’t come out until the next day, when it portrayed the document, falsely, as part of a movement in Europe to restrict care. No such movement existed. France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria were taking positions in opposition to Cass and in line w doctors

The story never ran. Coverage of Cass was taken away from the international desk, per order of top editors in NY, and given to the science desk. That desk had been a leader in promoting anti-trans disinformation throughout 2022-23. (Hundreds of the nyt own contributors had denounced its bias)
