Readers Write: Cannabis taxes, generational differences, Lola Perpich, trans athletes
May 28, 2025
When it comes to trans issues and sports, Strib Voices needs to have more care about what letters to the editor it chooses to print. Not only do many letters carelessly use offensive language that misgenders or denies the very existence of trans people, but they also promote misinformation or rely on dubious sources. For example, a May 23 letter cited a website tracking instances of trans women winning athletic events. The website is blatantly anti-trans, includes a pending hall of shame to dox and endanger people and tracks trans athletes winning in events including billiards, croquet and oyster shucking, to name a few. More discretion, context and responsibility is needed by the editors here.
