Thousands of New York Times contributors signed an open letter this February that raised concerns about alleged imbalance and bias in the paper's coverage of trans people and issues. This month, the co-authors released another letter — this time addressed directly to Times' publisher A.G. Sulzberger. Contributors continue to criticize both the Times' coverage of trans people and issues, which they say is biased and harmful, as well as the Times' response to the letter. Staffers who signed the letter in support have reported being disciplined, and anti-trans activists and lawmakers have continued to cite Times coverage in their justifications for bans on gender-affirming care. We speak again with Harron Walker, freelance journalist and letter co-author, about the state of the Times. Listen to our previous conversation with Walker about the letter here. In response to detailed questions about the allegations in the letters and the Times' response to the contributor letter, the New York Times' director of external communications, Charlie Stadtlander, stated:  "The Times received two letters nearly simultaneously on the morning of Feb. 15. Our numerous public comments on the matter – both on that day and since – address the comments expressed in both letters, which were presented to us in coordination.  As we have stated since February, we reject the claim that our coverage is biased. The role of an independent news organization is to report on issues of public importance and follow the facts where they lead. We've reported fully and fairly on transgender issues ranging from challenges and prejudice faced by the community to the fight for expanding rights and freedoms to open debates about care. Our coverage has been rigorously reported and edited, respectful of the people we're covering and sensitive to the moment. The New York Times published hundreds of articles -- with a word count of over 300,000 -- specifically on discrimination against transgender people and/or anti-transgender legislation in the last two years."

Severe weather continued across the Deep South, after intense tornadoes struck Mississippi and Alabama over the weekend, leaving at least 26 people dead and destroying rural towns in one of the poorest areas of the country.A collective of New York Times contributors released an open letter to the newspaper last month, calling out widespread editorial bias in its reporting on transgender, non⁠-⁠binary, and gender nonconforming people. Freelance journalist Harron Walker and TV critic Sean Collins, two co-authors of the original letter, join us to check in on how the Times has responded.And in headlines: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired his own defense minister for speaking out against a controversial plan to reform the country's judicial system, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced plans to station tactical nuclear weapons in neighboring Belarus, and the Los Angeles Unified School District reached a deal with 30,000 service workers after last week's massive strike.Show Notes:What A Day: Showing Up For Trans Rights with Chase Strangio – https://crooked.com/podcast/showing-up-for-trans-rights-with-chase-strangio/What A Day: For Trans Liberation Is Everyone's Fight with Raquel Willis – https://crooked.com/podcast/the-fight-for-trans-liberation-is-everyones-fight-with-raquel-willis/Trans Week of Visibility & Action: March 25-31 (Twitter) – https://twitter.com/trans_weekWe See Each Other: A Black, Trans Journey Through TV and Film – https://www.trevellanderson.com/booksCrooked Coffee is officially here.

Feminists are often asked why they hate men so much. But, the question that us women and non-men should be asking ourselves is why we continue to like men. What are the systemic, sociological, emotional, and political reasons that we still seek out relationships with men under patriarchy? Juno discusses these questions with their friend Nicole, during this guest episode. This episode is inspired by the insightful, extremely intimate, and politically-charged podcast series called "Why Do I Like Men," which was hosted by the award-winning journalist Harron Walker. You can, AND SHOULD, check out that podcast on Apple Podcasts here.

We're here, we're queer, you see us, you want to *be* us! But is all representation good? We used to be happy just to be seen, but as the world moves forward, do we get to critique the ways in which we are painted, or in which we paint ourselves? Butt wait, there's more! We discuss Fran's most significant role model Gwyneth Paltrow, Dennis's new celebrity crush, and test the limits of Joe's petty in a spicy polarizing edition of Swipe Right, Swipe Left.

Writer Harron Walker joins merritt to talk drug pie, Illuminati, and noticeably tall Shetland ponies.

We’ve got a gutting episode this week, all about bodies (and the issues that ensure). When were you first aware of your body? Why do you love your body? Why do you not? We’re joined in the studio by writer Harron Walker who’s got a lot to say about what happens when people tell you what you can and can't do with your bodies. It's like, the opposite of a Janet Jackson song. ALSO, we play our favorite game Homo-nym, wherein the thots debate the gayness of our favorite cultural iconography. (“I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston vs. “I Will Always Love You” by Dolly Parton) AND Joe gets ~physical~ with a steamy Impure Thot story from the gym.

Here’s a little XXX-mas special for you. For our holiday episode, we’re re-gifting you our most recent live show! Donning some gay apparel, we got into the heaux-liday spirit with a lil game of Thotty Mad Libs (it’s exactly what it sounds like) and the we share the stage with three queer rockstars, who each share a riveting, ridiculous, delirious, delectable Impure Thot — our recurring segment of sexy storytelling. First up, we have Broad City actor and comedian Bowen Yang, who tells a tale in which he accidentally tries an extremely illegal substance. (Find out which one!!!) Then, we have the sweet dream and beautiful nightmare Harron Walker who shares a story that involves the phrase “all-girl bukake.” To close us out, we have queer mermaid genius Janea Kelly who shares what can only be described as an Epic of Thottery, she is basically a neon-wig-wearing Virgil. Y’all are in for a treat.
