Science, "Both Sides", Trans Kids and the NYT

 First, let's just be clear, in regard to science, there is no "both sides. There are evidence-based opinions and bullshit.

The New York Times recently produced an article about the purely political (and religious) argument about puberty blockers for trans kids. The article is yet another piece of fruit from the poison tree planted to serve the willfully ignorant masses that attempt to shroud their religion-fueled bigotry with a disingenuous "both sides arguments". These arguments, be they about politics, global climate change, LGBTQ topics, or a plethora of other topics are nothing more than fringe or minority views by dishonest actors. Those who use "both sides" or worse "free speech" are deliberately misrepresenting their propaganda by wearing a disguise intended to look like journalism. Actual evidence and determinations made with the support of facts are not something thay possess so they seek out a fringe opinion that looks like science or "research" knowing that the majority of the public won't take the time to read much past the headline. 

In regard to the specific article from the NYT minimal effort to investigate the article produces layers of dishonesty and just pure bullshit. 

Perhaps it is time for the editors of the NYT to retake some basic journalism classes or maybe a course on integrity.
