Where the Hell Are Trans Voices: Media's Epic Failure in Trans Queer Coverage

How major outlets silenced the very people affected by policy decisions

When the White House decides to talk about transgender rights, you'd think journalists would, I don't know, actually talk to transgender people? I ,

Wendy

, am a Trans Woman and Im here writing all this shit and doing the work, did they ask me? No.

Erin Reed

, she is out there doing the hard work. Did they ask her? I doubt it. Evan Urquhart of Assigned Media is out there. Did they ask Evan? I doubt it. So a damning new report from GLAAD shows just how spectacularly mainstream media is failing at this basic fucking journalism.

Let me be crystal clear: this isn't just sloppy reporting—it's journalistic malpractice that has real consequences for real people. When media outlets publish stories about policies affecting transgender Americans without including their voices, they're essentially saying those voices don't matter.
