The NYT’s big profile on Skrmetti is centered around a genuine factual error, accusing the movement for trans rights and ACLU specifically of being behind the lawsuit, when it was the Biden administration.
It’s literally in the name of the case, US v Skrmetti.

It was the Biden administration's DOJ who decided to pursue this to the Supreme Court, not a trans rights group.
This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.
