    That’s only if you assume that trans people can’t have legal or other specific knowledge to contribute. Trans people come from all walks of life and it’s not hard to find people who could tell a newspaper about historical precedence, provide medical background information or do political analysis. It’s not just about people’s feelings after all.

      If they’re providing objective analysis, it shouldn’t really matter where it comes from?

      I’m sure the New York Times is trying to get the best objective information on a subject. If the experts they find aren’t trans, should they then look specifically for experts on the matter, who also happen to be trans?
