Taylor Lorenz, a journalist, meets with the creator of Libs of TikTok and reveals a surprising confession
The Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz Makes Stunning Admission in Interview with “Libs of TikTok” Account Owner
In a recent interview, Taylor Lorenz, a journalist from The Washington Post, sat down with Chaya Raichik, the woman behind the popular “Libs of TikTok” account. The interview, which was videotaped, revealed a shocking admission from Lorenz.
Lorenz, who has targeted and doxxed Raichik in the past, admitted that she had not actually viewed some of the sexually explicit content involving children that Raichik had posted online. Despite this, Lorenz was quick to defend the sexual content and even accused Raichik of being a hateful bigot for opposing its promotion in schools.
During the interview, Lorenz claimed ignorance about the content Raichik had posted on her feed and argued that any sexual education deemed necessary by a “sex educator” was acceptable. In response, Raichik showed Lorenz images from the controversial book “Gender Queer,” depicting gay oral sex. Lorenz was momentarily speechless before defending the content.
Lorenz argued that there was missing “context” to the images and scolded Raichik for not trusting ”sex educators.” Raichik then posed the question of whether such explicit content should be in elementary schools, to which Lorenz deflected and suggested consulting a qualified professional.

During the interview, it is worth noting that Lorenz wore a mask, despite being outside and well past the peak of the pandemic. Raichik, on the other hand, sported sunglasses and a t-shirt featuring a photo of Lorenz crying over internet harassment during an MSNBC appearance. This incident further highlights Lorenz’s history of doxxing Raichik.
In fact, Lorenz herself faced suspension on X in December 2022 for her doxxing activities.
Others have also shared their negative experiences with Lorenz. One woman revealed that Lorenz had asked for her address, promising not to publish it, but then proceeded to dox her in The New York Times. Elon Musk, CEO of X, called out Lorenz’s behavior as “shameful.”
I’m not famous and I wasn’t a public figure either when Taylor Lorenz asked for my address, said it wasn’t for publication and then proceeded to dox me in the NYT with the address she had assured me she wasn’t going to publish. The article was shared many x on Twitter. @elonmusk https://t.co/dsqYai2KNn pic.twitter.com/0t80xTCuhd

What are the key differences in understanding and engagement between Chaya Raichik and Taylor Lorenz regarding the explicit content in the book ”Gender Queer”?
Ventilated. This may be seen as an attempt to protect her identity and avoid accountability for her actions and statements during the interview.
It is extremely concerning that a journalist of Taylor Lorenz’s stature would not take the time to fully educate herself on the material she is defending. By admitting that she had not read any of the books she was attacking Chaya Raichik for, Lorenz proved her lack of credibility and negligence in reporting. It is the responsibility of a journalist to thoroughly research and understand the topics they cover, especially when it involves sensitive and controversial subjects like explicit sexual content and its presence in school libraries.
Raichik, on the other hand, demonstrated a clear understanding of the materials she was discussing. She displayed a knowledge of the explicit content featured in the book “Gender Queer” and raised valid concerns about its appropriateness in elementary schools. This highlights the stark difference in the level of engagement and consideration between a concerned citizen and a journalist who is quick to defend controversial content without investigating its full implications.
It is deeply troubling that Lorenz would label Raichik a hateful bigot simply for expressing her concerns about the promotion of sexual content in schools. Raichik’s views align with the beliefs of many parents who prioritize the well-being and innocence of young children. By dismissing her as a bigot, Lorenz disregarded the legitimate concerns of a citizen who wants to protect the innocence of children and ensure that schools are providing appropriate education for their age group.
Lorenz’s argument that trust should be placed in ”sex educators” is flawed. While sex education is crucial, it is essential that educators approach these topics in a responsible and age-appropriate manner. The inappropriate content found in books such as “Gender Queer” raises questions about the judgment of those who determine what is suitable for children. This warrants a broader discussion about the standards and guidelines followed in selecting educational materials for schools.
In her deflection of the question about explicit content in elementary schools, Lorenz missed an opportunity to address valid concerns. Instead of providing a thoughtful response, she redirected the responsibility to consult a “qualified professional.” This response not only evades the issue at hand but also diminishes the importance of engaging in a dialogue to find appropriate solutions.
The interview with Chaya Raichik exposes the lack of thorough research and understanding on the part of Taylor Lorenz, as well as her dismissal of legitimate concerns. As a journalist, Lorenz has a responsibility to approach subjects with impartiality, fact-checking, and a commitment to investigate all sides of the story. This interview raises questions about her objectivity and professionalism.
Moving forward, it is essential for journalists like Taylor Lorenz to take a step back and reassess their practices. The public relies on journalists to provide accurate and comprehensive information, and it is the duty of journalists to uphold the highest standards of integrity and journalistic ethics. By engaging in responsible reporting, journalists can contribute to a more informed and empowered society.
