We need more journalists who don’t pretend the rising wave of right-wing inspired transphobia, racism, misogyny, predation, authoritarianism, homophobia and corruption is something they should shrug at and say “we can’t take sides”

Which ofc is taking a side.

Trans people are the only group of people where rape is an acceptable part of a prison sentence. When a person is convicted of a crime, they're given a prison sentence, fine, probation, etc. Not "6 years plus constant rape".

The majority of cis people don’t care about the actual lives of trans people.

Mainstream media frames our existence as a debate and uplifts junk science, most especially the NYT.

Follow and support independent trans journalists instead:

Erin Reed
Evan Urquhart
Mady Castigan
Kaetlyn Burns

I honestly don't know what the solution is here because it's entirely asymmetrical. The truth is whoever can repeat something enough rather than objective reality. I detest propaganda but I have yet to see an effective counter to it. There's a reason why authoritarian regimes use it. It works.
