Mx. Kit O'Connell — Hire me!

I'm reposting my @TexasObserver stories on my homepage.

From 2022: a #NYTimes reporter's sloppy and unethical reporting on gender-affirming healthcare for young people ended up used by #Texas against #trans kids and their families.

This was nominated for a #GLAAD media award in 2023 for “Outstanding Online Journalism Article.” kitoconnell.com/emily-bazelon-

Kit O'Connell: Approximately 8,000 Words · There Is No Legitimate ‘Debate’ Over Gender-Affirming Healthcare - Kit O'Connell: Approximately 8,000 WordsThis article was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award in 2023 in the category “Outstanding Online Journalism Article.” On June 15, the New York Times Magazine published “The Battle Over Gender Therapy,” an investigation into gender-affirming care for young people bystaff writer Emily Bazelon. Since its publication, transgender-rights advocates, medical experts, and other journalists have condemned the article for inaccurately portraying such care as controversial, misrepresenting scientific research, and quoting anti-trans activists without proper context.  Now, the state of Texas is using it as evidence in an ongoing attempt to investigate trans-supportive healthcare as “child abuse.” In February, Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a nonbinding legal opinion that redefined gender-affirming healthcare as “child abuse,” after which Governor Greg Abbott directed the Depart­ment of Family and Protective Services to investigate trans youth and their families. Ever since, Texas has been engaged in a protracted legal battle with civil rights groups over the order. In a recent salvo, the ACLU and Lambda Legal filed suit to protect members of PFLAG, a nonprofit for families and allies of LGBTQ+ people. For the moment, the courts have blocked Child Protective Services from investigating families with trans kids as long as they are members of PFLAG. It was in these proceedings that the state used the Times article in a brief on July 6.

Here are some of the horrible things that you can now say on #Instagram and #Facebook / Meta’s policy changes allow calling gay and trans people ‘mentally ill’ while removing a ban on referring to women as ‘household objects.’

“Even before these changes, the #LGBTQ+ media advocacy group #GLAAD reported last year that Meta often failed to remove posts violating its hate speech policies. Now, even those guardrails that had been established to protect people from internet #harassment are disappearing.

“Without these necessary hate speech and other policies, Meta is giving the green light for people to target LGBTQ people, women, immigrants, and other marginalized groups with violence, vitriol, and dehumanizing narratives. With these changes, Meta is continuing to normalize anti-LGBTQ #hatred for profit — at the expense of its users and true freedom of expression. Fact-checking and hate speech policies protect free speech.” said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis in a statement responding to the changes.”
