"While the number of articles fluctuates massively each month, it has remained almost consistently higher than any other news outlet in the US since 2023 alone. In fact, Fox News' has written more articles referencing trans people than there are days in the year for nearly four years, trumping outlets like The Advocate, NBC News, The Guardian, and The Washington Post."

The outlet's coverage comprised over half of anti-trans content among six major conservative outlets. Monthly article counts fluctuated but remained almost consistently higher than other US news outlets since 2023. Fox News wrote more articles referencing trans people than there are days in the year for nearly four years, surpassing outlets such as The Advocate, NBC News, The Guardian, and The Washington Post.
