scandals get covered up by local media, said Beth Stelzer, an amateur powerlifter in Minnesota who founded <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SaveWomensSport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Save Women\u2019s Sports<\/a>. \u201cIt happens more than you think,\u201d she laughed, after noting that the <em>New York Times<\/em>, <em>Washington Post<\/em>, and <em>Los Angeles Times<\/em> still have not called her for a comment about the scandal.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWith a [scandal] story like this, they\u2019re getting a lot of pressure from [gender] activists not to talk about it at all because it\u2019s so obvious [that] \u2026 in other circumstances, this would be seen as cheating,\u201d added Natasha Chart, an activist and critic of the gender ideology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is just something you almost can\u2019t talk about without making the truth obvious that they put a man in a women\u2019s competition,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The pro-gender activists can pressure the journalists by mobbing their articles and mobbing their colleagues, she said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The journalism profession is highly dependent on social media for reach, for engagement, and it has become highly vulnerable to Twitter mobs \u2026 [and the journalists\u2019]&nbsp;&nbsp;professional networks are very susceptible to these [social media] pressures.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But the media\u2019s failure should be blamed on editors and publishers, not reporters, she said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>All throughout this issue is an abdication of responsibility by [journalism] authorities. Why should 10 [gender activists] complain on Twitter and be able to get someone fired from a reporting job? Why are the editors and owners of these newspapers so irresponsible as to say \u201cOh, well they reported on this true story, it was unpopular \u2026 so you\u2019re fired.\u201d Where are their backbones?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In 2020, a journalist group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/science\/2020\/09\/23\/journo-society-funds-transgender-activists\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allied with a transgender advocacy group<\/a> to demand other journalists include novel pro-transgender language in news articles.<\/p>\n<p>But journalists can cover the story without too much risk, Chart said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A reporter certainly could write about this exactly like the activists want them to, and use [cross-sex] pronouns all through, and then mention at the end that Lia Thomas competed as a man for some years and [also ] report they [Thomas] weren\u2019t a very distinguished competitor in the men\u2019s races.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The elite media is trying to ignore the issue, but mainstream media sites \u2014 including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/economy\/2021\/12\/27\/nytimes-grassroots-oklahomans-take-over-city-govt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Breitbart News<\/a> \u2014 are covering the <a href=\"https:\/\/swimswam.com\/?s=lia+thomas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">issue<\/a>, much to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/sports\/2021\/12\/07\/trans-swimmer-crushes-womens-records-likely-win-ncaa-titles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the interest<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/duckduckgo.com\/?q=site%3Awww.dailymail.co.uk.+%22lia+thomas%22&amp;atb=v302-1__&amp;ia=web\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">their readers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This mainstream coverage of the debate is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tag\/transgender-poll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">boosting mainstream opposition<\/a> to the transgender demand that each person\u2019s unprovable sense of \u201cgender identity\u201d be treated as more important than their male-or-female body in law, culture, and sports.
