The supposed newspaper calling itself the New York Times, which specializes in propaganda and lying to people on behalf of its billionaire owner Carlos Slim, strikes again.

On May 12, it published an article about a cross-dresser who was fired for trying to bring his pecularity to work. In this, it made the 'mistake' of mentioning the actual name of said, as opposed to the woman's name that he had bestowed on himself.

She was born Anthony Stephens on Dec. 7, 1960, in Fayetteville, N.C. She graduated from Mars Hill University in 1984 with a degree in religious education and obtained a degree in mortuary science from Fayetteville Technical Community College in 1988, according to the A.C.L.U. She started at R.G. & G.R. Harris in 2008. source

Cue the outrage. Far-leftist Zack Ford, a former writer for Think Progress, made the following aggressive demand:

Shame on @nytimes for unnecessarily deadnaming Aimee Stephens, the transgender plaintiff in the Supreme Court nondiscrimination case who passed away today. This is irresponsible and inexcusably offensive to her memory.

Hey @aimee_ortiz, you have a responsibility to correct this error. Deadnaming transgender people violates all LGBTQ media guidelines, including apparently your own at the @nytimes: https://www.glaad.org/reference/style

There is NOTHING "newsworthy or pertinent" about Stephens' former name.

Damn this infuriates me. It's sad enough that she didn't live to see justice. But to then be humiliated in this way in the paper of record? It's just a slap in the face to trans people, a reminder of just how far they have to go for basic respect. link - archive.org - archive.today

The pathetic New York Times, of course, obediently followed. It edited the article to airbrush the guy's name out of existence.

Ms. Stephens was born on Dec. 7, 1960, in Fayetteville, N.C. She graduated from Mars Hill University in 1984 with a degree in religious education and obtained a degree in mortuary science from Fayetteville Technical Community College in 1988, according to the A.C.L.U. She started working at R.G. & G.R. Harris in 2008. source

Naturally... even with a complete victory, the hard-left lynchmob was still not satisfied. I quote Zack Ford again:

The obituary has been updated. I'm still waiting to see the apology to the trans community for the error, @nytimes.

While it's certainly better that her deadname has been removed, I still so resent that Aimee Stephens' obituary will forever bear the blemish of that editorial note confirming she was subjected to one more massive humiliation upon her passing. link - archive.org - archive.today

It seems that these people read 1984 and decided that the memory hole was a really, really good idea. Remember that this is the same newspaper whose Pulitzer Prize-winning 'journalist' Walter Duranty adamantly insisted that there was nothing wrong in the Ukraine, even as 6-10 million people were dying as a result of a man-made famine.

Men are women.
Free speech is fascism.
Diversity is strength.
