Media coverage of transgender and gender diverse people has an impact. Today, we signed a letter with @glaad and over 100 other orgs to demand better, more accurate coverage.
We’ve had enough. We’ve joined over 100 organizations and leaders to demand that @nytimes stop printing inaccurate and harmful misinformation about transgender people and issues. Today we are outside of the Times building to send a clear message.
