''The New York Times'' has received criticism regarding its coverage of [[transgender]] people. When it published an opinion piece by [[Weill Cornell Medicine]] professor [[Richard A. Friedman]] called "How Changeable Is Gender?" in August 2015,{{Sfn|The New York Times|2015c}} ''[[Vox (website)|Vox]]''{{'}}s German Lopez criticized Friedman as suggesting that parents and doctors might be right in letting children suffer from severe dysphoria in case something changes down the line, and as implying that conversion therapy may work for transgender children.{{Sfn|Lopez|2015}} In February 2023, nearly one thousand{{Sfn|Oladipo|2023}} current and former ''Times'' writers and contributors wrote an open letter addressed to standards editor Philip B. Corbett, criticizing the paper's coverage of transgender, [[Non-binary gender|non⁠-⁠binary]], and [[gender-nonconforming]] people; some of the ''Times''' articles have been cited in state legislatures attempting to justify criminalizing gender-affirming care.{{Sfn|Klein|2023a}} Contributors wrote in the open letter that "the ''Times'' has in recent years treated [[gender variance|gender diversity]] with an eerily familiar mix of [[pseudoscience]] and euphemistic, charged language, while publishing reporting on [[transgender youth|trans children]] that omits relevant information about its sources."{{Efn|Attributed to multiple references: {{Sfn|Migdon|2023}}{{Sfn|Yurcaba|2023}}{{Sfn|Kalish|2023}}{{Sfn|Yang|2023}}}}
