There's still much to be done for trans rights, on IDAHOTB2020 this Sunday and beyond
There’s little analysis on Canadian media’s coverage of trans lives, but an overview of one outlet points to major room for improvement.94 per cent of references to trans people were negative.
In this realm, average Canadians may take to social media platforms to voice their disappointment in outlets when they engage in irresponsible journalism. This may influence future reporting, but few outlets respond directly when faced with public pressure around trans coverage. Trans people often take it upon themselves to set the record straight when coverage fails them, like HuffPost Canada writer Niko Stratis,
around a rally protesting transphobic public speaker Meghan Murphy’s appearance at a Toronto Public Library branch last year.Visibility in media, especially when represented with nuance, can mean the world for trans people used to seeing themselves as punchlines or not at all.
