Research by Media Matters for America says that in 2023, cable news extensively covered anti-trans bills in state legislatures, but often without featuring trans voices. The report also included coverage by media organizations like MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News. Human Rights Campaign’s count shows that over 550 anti-LGBTQ+ bills were introduced last year, with 80 enacted into law, many targeting trans individuals. Media Matters notes that coverage of these bills consistently overlooked the firsthand perspectives of trans and gender-nonconforming individuals. This lack of representation underscores the importance of inclusive reporting and the need to amplify the voices of marginalized communities in discussions surrounding legislation affecting their rights and well-being. #Trans Rights
