New York Times Torched After Referring to Biological Women as 'Non-Transgender Women'
A liberal New York Times writer was hit with major backlash after referring to biological women as “non-transgender women” in her article.
The article discussing testosterone levels and men in women’s sports, specifically with n Jose State University’s male volleyball player Blaire (Brayden) Fleming, who plays on the SJSU women’s volleyball team,
6’1” Fleming possesses an obvious advantage over women, a fact that countless athletes have noticed.
Teammate Brooke Slusser said Fleming’s “power” was something she had “never seen before.”
However, New York Times writer Juliet Macur declined to name the athlete, citing that “she has not publicly confirmed her identity and declined an interview request.”
The kicker came when the author began discussing the NCAA’s rules surrounding hormone levels and the inclusion of transgender athletes.
The excerpt reads as follows:
“On its website, the N.C.A.A. says trans volleyball players are eligible to play if their testosterone level is less than 10 nanomoles per liter — that’s at least four times more than what many experts say is the top of the range for non-transgender women, and in the typical range for adult men.“
The reference to women as “non-transgender” set off a firestorm with actual women online.
British Olympian Sharron Davies said the article was evidence that transgenderism is a “men’s rights movement.”
“Women are now Non transgender women! Just wow! How anyone can say this isn’t a men’s rights movement I’ll never know, whilst women lose their rights, their words, their safeguards, their sports, their sex discrimination laws … I will never understand.”
Meanwhile, tennis legend Martina Navratilova, who even has “#VoteBlue” on her X profile, also committed a great offence.

“[New York Times] you stink. We are women, not NOT TRANSGENDER WOMEN. Just WOMEN will do in the future.”
Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace called the article “bs.”
Chaya Raichik said through her popular account Libs of TikTok that she felt insulted.
“Hey [New York Times], I’m not a ‘non-transgender woman.’ I’m a woman. Adult human female. This is so insulting to the billions of women in the world.”
Other women slammed the outlet, calling it a “joke.”
One woman said the New York Times had made itself “irrelevant” with the article.
Another said it contributed to the “erasure of women.”
