The New York Times has recently replaced an outgoing transgender opinion writer with someone who has a regressive gender agenda: https://fair.org/home/pamela-pauls-gender-agenda/

@koavf they replaced a person with an opinion that you like with a person with an opinion that you don't like? Who cares. No one's making you read it if you don't want to.
@bct Did you read the article?
@koavf I didn't initially but I (sort of) have now. I stand by the same. It looks to be an opinion writer writing opinions in the newspaper opinion section. You just happen to not like the person's opinion, which is fine. Implicit opinion that she doesn't actually say apparently, but only indirectly. But she can still have her opinion and you still don't have to read the articles.
@bct Is it okay to have anti-Semitic opinions and publish those in the paper of record?
@koavf clearly, yes. This isn’t a country with thought police. Again, just don’t read it.
@bct You are wrong.
@koavf nope. another person’s thoughts don’t get to dictate yours. Nor do yours dictate theirs.
@bct I never claimed that. This is Exhibit A of you being a confused person.
@koavf At this point you're right, I am confused. I don't know what you're talking about. I'll stand by my previous points: she's allowed to write it, they're allowed to publish it, and you're allowed to not read it and to ever think about her, them or it again.
@bct No one disputed any of the things you wrote. Read this thread and you may be able to dispel some of your (willful?) ignorance.
@koavf care to explain instead of making conclusory and ad hominem statements? I’d love to know under what authority you—but no one else—gets to decide what others say, think or write.
