I don’t think you’re going to have a lot of luck with that, tbh.
I’ve been trying to convince my mom of the same thing for years at this point, and I’ve made exactly no progress. It doesn’t matter that all of her children are trans and we take every opportunity we can to point out transphobia in the NYT, in her mind any instances of transphobia in the NYT are scattered one-offs and don’t come together to form any kind of a pattern of transphobia. That’s ridiculous, of course, but my mom is absolutely incapable of believing that the NYT is anything but the best journalistic outlet in the world and there is no amount of evidence to the contrary that will sway her.
I sincerely hope you have better luck with your relative than I have, but if I were you I’d plan for disappointment.

Next to getting tear gassed, seeing things and remembering them might be the most radicalizing experience a human can have.
