  • Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
  • Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)

The report reviewed articles published between January 1 and April 25 across 10 major news outlets. According to the analysis, the Times published 60 news stories centered mainly on transgender issues during that period. Only 12 included quotes from transgender people or advocacy representatives, a rate of 20 percent.

[…]

“It is inaccurate for the Times to claim that coverage is ‘fair’ or ‘accurate’ or ‘empathetic’ when its stories about transgender people do not include transgender voices. This defies common sense and journalistic integrity.”

This needs to be called out repeatedly until it changes. Transexuals are too often treated as a topic instead of being treated as persons. A clear sign of marginalisation.

Supporting a minority while using a pseudo-slur? Huh. I didn't know Lyndon B. Johnson was on Beehaw.
