Introduction

This season of The Antitrans Hate Machine traces the way that the myth of trans-social contagion has gone from a fringe conspiracy to a powerful force in the anti-trans movement gaining ground within progressive families and mainstream media outlets. We take a deep dive inside the news organization that people wake up to every day to check the paper that captures the most pressing headlines of our time. With disinformation now rife in its pages, the paper of record has become a disinformers wildest dream. It's through Harper's experience that we can understand how this media empire operates why insidious myths are increasingly splashed across its pages.
