National Geographic has a proud legacy and is a cherished part of my own family history. It needs to stick to science.
Seven years ago, National Geographic announced a “gender revolution.” In a special 2017 edition of the famous magazine and a corresponding TV special hosted by Katie Couric, Nat Geo declared that the black and white “binary world” was crumbling, replaced by the exciting new world of transgenderism and gender fluidity. The magazine cover featured a 9-year-old “transgender girl.” The “experts” Couric interviewed were mostly leftist political activists.
That’s not what National Geographic was doing seven years ago. I focus on Nat Geo’s role in the gender revolution not just because it’s a good example of media malpractice, but because it strikes a personal chord. My father was a writer and editor atfor 30 years, from roughly 1960 to 1990. He was a kind and compassionate journalist but also had no tolerance for attacks on basic scientific facts.
