In the span of a hour, they stealth edited the article from trans woman to "biological male who identifies as a woman." The BBC isn't fit for purpose.
It looks like that BBC page has been updated in the last few minutes, so that's no longer the last sentence. I think part of it has been moved to this paragraph in the middle of the article, and the age is no longer mentioned:

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

It’s worth reading this article in full because it points out how while Epstein had a lot of friends, Thiel was one of the few he actually invested with.

All of this to say: people are coming down extemely hard on the question of how the NYT as a whole has handled the Epstein question has less (though not nothing!) to do with Epstein and more to do with a general loss of trust in the paper in general

This rot overshadows all aspects of the Times, even the stuff it does genuinely well. I genuinely like the Science section and the folks I work with: I'm quite proud of the work I've done there. But it's hard to ask people to set aside the former and focus on the latter

Of course, there is no public editor and very little transparency when the paper fucks up (as any newspaper will inevitably do.) Attempts to reform from inside get stonewalled; attempts from outside get dismissed and sneered at

The opinion desk is, with a few exceptions, staffed by dullards and reactionaries. Senior leadership has been on semi-open crusade against trans people. Star reporters covering Trump have seemingly held back info for books; those from the politics section openly launder right wingers as sources

I think there are a number of people employed at the New York Times -- certainly not all of them, but many! -- who simply do not grasp how badly the paper's credibility has been shaken over the past few years, along several different axes, and for multiple different reasons

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

🇺🇦 Zelensky: The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion.

The media needs to stop calling it a peace plan. It's a Republican surrender plan for Europe. Why? Because Republicans have embraced fascist plutocracy and Europe isn't.
