A recent analysis revealed that major news outlets are inadequately covering President Trump's anti-trans executive orders. Of 35 articles reviewed, less than half included quotes from transgender individuals, with only a handful providing factual context to counter misinformation. GLAAD urges media to highlight the voices and realities of transgender Americans as these executive orders negatively impact their community. The report evaluated various news organizations, finding significant variation in inclusivity of transgender voices, but a prevailing trend of exclusion overall.
The findings highlight a troubling trend. Out of 35 articles covering Trump's executive orders, only 13 included a quote from a transgender person.
Transgender Americans are clearly under assault by the Trump administration, including unprecedented attempts to erase and dehumanize,
It is imperative that media covering the administration's efforts to exclude transgender people report on this pattern of inaccurate, animus-filled behavior, and include the voices of transgender people.
Some outlets performed better than others, but the overall trend showed that too many stories about policies affecting transgender people failed to include trans voices.
