Media has played a powerful role in advancing transgender justice and equity -- by providing deeper information about systemic injustice, elevating historically excluded and endangered voices, and offering a more inclusive vision of our communities. But media makers and journalists can also be doing more to build anti-oppression values into their work. What can the media community do to more closely engage transgender advocates, and support transgender journalists? How has media coverage of transgender experience been narratively limited? What considerations can journalists be making about their language, process, and person-to-person engagement? In this interactive panel discussion, we'll be hearing from writers and advocates on these questions and more.
